The Yankees lost the ALCS opener and their captain when Derek Jeter broke his left ankle just after Delmon Young doubled home the go-ahead run in the 12th inning of the Tigers' 6-4 win Saturday night. 

Jeter rolled when he dove in an attempt to glove Jhonny Peralta's grounder up the middle in the 12th inning. Unable to move, he flipped the ball toward the mound. His leg was dangling as he was assisted to the dugout by Joe Girardi and Steve Donahue.

Detroit had been coasting to a 4-0 victory before the Yankees rocked Jose Verlarde in the ninth.
