Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander threw 120 pitches against the Yankees in Game 3 on Monday night, pushing his team to within one victory of the ALCS. After watching his ace strike out 11 batters, manager Jim Leyland thanked him for what he called a "terrific" effort and made it clear that the AL Cy Young Award candidate was finished for the series. "I would say so, yes," Leyland said. "I wouldn't do anything foolish. I try not to do anything foolish with any of my pitchers, let alone an arm like that. You saw what a talent he is. I would say he's definitely done for this series." Verlander, who struggled at times and was dominant at times on Monday night, wouldn't give up on pitching again against New York. "I haven't talked to him yet," Verlander said of Leyland, who was pretty definitive. "If I need to go out there, make maybe a relief appearance or something, I'll get in his ear about that. Hopefully, though, we shut it down here tomorrow."
