Miguel Cabrera finally popped one out of the park.

Justin Verlander pitched like Justin Verlander.

And before you knew it, those Tigers, who were listless for a while in the Oakland series, suddenly looked like winners again. On Thursday night, Verlander pitched an amazing game, giving the Tigers a 3-0 victory.

Now, it's off to Boston.

No easy task. The Red Sox are hot stuff.

But the Tigers have a deep pool of talent.

The first pitch is 8:37 p.m. on Saturday in Boston.

May the best team win. -- Allan Lengel
