DETROIT -- Friday night the Detroit Tigers are playing the New York Yankees at the new Yankee stadium. However, fan fever is being felt all the way back here in Michigan at Comerica Park.
The Tigers have been surging since the All Star break and made some key trades. Doug Fister, who will start the second game, was acquired from the Seattle Mariners. He’s led the way since joining the team.
Delmon Young, the younger brother of Demitiri Young, has come to Detroit by way of Minnesota. His bat's been on fire.
Of course, you can't ignore Justin Verlander, who led the Major Leagues in wins, strikeouts, and earned run average.
Now, let’s talk about the Yankees. They’ve got the best record in the American League. In fact, they've got the most home runs in the league, and the biggest payroll in baseball and it shows.
C.C. Sebathia will take the mound in game one, and they have Mariano Rivera in the bullpen. Rivera is major league baseball's all time saves leader.
During NBC25 News at 6:00 p.m. we’ll have full reports from Comerica Park on the game, with the latest information at 11:00 p.m.
