Justin Verlander struck out 12 batters and first baseman Prince Fielder
blasted 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI as the Detroit Tigers defeated the New York
(AL) Yankees 4 to 2 at Comerica Park.
 
Fielder helped send the fans home happy.  He popped a two-run clout over the
fence in the 1st inning and smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly' in the 4th
inning.  Jose Valverde relieved and was untouched by New York (AL) as he
recorded the save, his 1st.  
 
The win was credited to Verlander(1-0) who went 7 and 2/3 innings allowing 2
runs. Hiroki Kuroda(0-1) was hit with the loss.  He allowed 3 homeruns in 7
innings of work.  
 
Everyone seemed to enjoy the performance of Verlander - except New York (AL).
Joe Girardi lamented, 'He just was 'on' this afternoon.  He was keeping our
guys off balance all game.  A fine game by a good strikeout pitcher - makes
it a fun game for the hometown fans - unfortunately we were the visitors!'
