provided all of Detroit’s Game 2 scoring with a three-run homer in the third inning as the Tigers left 13 runners on base. Detroit is 2 for 19 with runners in scoring position in the series. Fister gave up six runs and struck out six in 4 2/3 innings of a 9-3 loss at New York when Game 1 of the ALDS resumed Oct. 1. However, he yielded only one run in five innings of a 3-2 victory at Yankee Stadium in Game 5 on Thursday. Winners of five straight since losing 9-0 in the division series opener versus Tampa Bay on Sept. 30, the Rangers are filled with confidence as they head to Detroit in a comfortable situation. Though his team is down 0-2 and Cruz is 7 for 14 with a home run and two doubles against him, Fister does not feel any added pressure taking the mound in this must-win scenario. The right-hander went 4-0 with a 0.98 ERA in five home starts for the Tigers. Summary of the match will be on site soon..
