Chien-Ming Wang has dominated the Tigers in his short MLB career: In four starts against them he has a 3-0 record with a 2.52 ERA, not giving up a homerun in 25 IP. On the season he has only given up seven longballs, including only two at Yankee Stadium.
Pudge gets the day off and Polanco is still suffering from that flu bug. It will take some contributions from everyone to salvage a split in this series.
