The Tigers are back in Detroit trailing the Giants 0-2 in the World Series.

In Major League history, 11 teams have battled back to win a championship after losing the first two games.

The 1996 Yankees, who beat the Braves, are the most recent club to rebound.

"I like our chances," Gerald Laird said. "We've got Anibal [Sanchez] coming Game 3, and if we can get that game we've basically got our back-to-back aces with [Max] Scherzer and Verlander. So I definitely like our chances. We just play well there. You kind of get up to play at home. Playing baseball where we've played good all year. They did their job. They're supposed to win the first two games at home. Now we've got to take care of business at home and if we do our job we can have a lead coming back here.

"It's just been tough. It will be nice to get home in front of our crowd. We know it's going to be nice and loud. We know what to expect. We'll play where we're comfortable. We've got two tough righties form them [Ryan Vogelsong, Matt Cain], but I like the guys we're sending out there. Hopefully we'll come back here [ahead] three games to two."
