Swept again.. then "almost" Sweep

Tigers hit the Yankees

After the Tigers got swept 2 series in a row... the Mariners at home and Cleveland on the road... they came home again only to drop the first game of 4 against the Yankees for a 7-game losing streak before bringing in Scott Sizemore's bat from AAA Toledo.  Sizemore went 3 for 3 in his first 3 at-bats in game 2 and ended up 3 for 4 to break the losing streak.  That got the Tigers rolling, starting what would become 3 straight wins against the Eastern Division leading New York Yankees for the "almost" sweep.  Up next for the Tigers is a 4-game long "wrap-around" series against Toronto, starting with a 7-4 Friday night loss, day games for the Saturday-Sunday weekend, and ending with a Monday night game.  After that they hit the road again for a short 2-game series in their first meeting with a struggling Minnesota team.
