Jeremy Bonderman threw 81/3 innings of five-hit ball to lead the Tigers to a series-clinching 8-3 win over the Yankees and got a tip from a pitcher from another team on how to pitch against the Yankees.

"I had a guy call me up a couple of days ago and give me insight about how to get these guys out, and I have all the thanks in the world for him to do that for me," said Bonderman. "He didn't have to do it. It was a great favor."
