Tigers Aim For ALDS Sweep

Oakland will try to extend the ALDS series on Tuesday when the Detroit Tigers pay a visit to O.co Coliseum.

Down 0-2, Oakland sends Brett Anderson out against Anibal Sanchez for the Tigers in this game. Anderson is 4-2 with a 2.57 ERA on the season, while Sanchez is 9-13 on the year and has a 3.86 ERA.

Al Albuquerque's kissing of the baseball before a Game 2 out in the ninth inning has emotions high, but Oakland has bigger things to worry about.
