Yankees right-hander A.J. Burnett pitched 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball on Tuesday night against the Tigers with his team facing elimination. He left the game with a 4-1 lead and New York forced a fifth game on Thursday night with an eventual 10-1 victory. The Yankees supported Burnett with incredible defense. With the bases loaded and two outs in the first inning, Curtis Granderson made an incredible leaping catch. "If I miss that one, there's nothing there but the wall back there and some ivy," Granderson said. "Who knows what could have happened at that point -- especially with it being the first inning. We get behind in an elimination game, here in Detroit, the fans stay in it." Granderson added a spectacular catch a few innings later, getting a good jump and sliding towards left field to snag another third out. "We don't win that game tonight without defense," Burnett said.
