Here are the lineups for Game 2 of the ALCS, set for a 4:00 p.m. ET first pitch in New York:
DETROIT TIGERS NEW YORK YANKEES
1. Austin Jackson, CF 1. Ichiro Suzuki, LF
2. Quintin Berry, LF 2. Robinson Cano, 2B
3. Miguel Cabrera, 3B 3. Mark Teixeira, 1B
4. Prince Fielder, 1B 4. Raul Ibanez, DH
5. Delmon Young, DH 5. Russell Martin, C
6. Andy Dirks, RF 6. Alex Rodriguez, 3B
7. Jhonny Peralta, SS 7. Curtis Granderson, CF
8. Alex Avila, C 8. Nick Swisher, RF
9. Omar Infante, 2B 9. Jayson Nix, SSSP Anibal Sanchez, RH SP Hiroki Kuroda, RH
Tigers manager Jim Leyland is sticking with his customary lineup against right-handed pitching, which means Avisail Garcia will open on the bench and Berry will get the start in left field. Dirks is in right.
For the Yankees -- playing in their first postseason game without Derek Jeter since 1995 -- there are quite a few lineup changes. Ichiro jumps up to the leadoff spot and Martin gets bumped to fifth. Ibanez bats cleanup. Nix is expected to start in Jeter’s place at shortstop for the remainder of the 2012 postseason.
The game will be broadcast on TBS. Consider this post an open thread.
