Detroit Tigers going for the sweep

(DETROIT FREE PRESS) - The Detroit Tigers' starting lineup is the same for today's Game 4 as it was Wednesday night, when the game was originally scheduled.

Right-handed pitcher Max Scherzer will get the start for Detroit, which can sweep the New York Yankees, win the American League pennant and clinch a spot in the World Series with a win today. Left-hander pitcher CC Sabathia takes the mound for New York.

Here's the Tigers' lineup:

CF Austin Jackson

2B Omar Infante

3B Miguel Cabrera

1B Prince Fielder

DH Delmon Young

SS Jhonny Peralta

LF Andy Dirks

RF Avisail Garcia

C Gerald Laird

The Yankees' lineup is the same as Wednesday night, too, which means two big names have been benched: struggling superstar Alex Rodriguez, who has the fifth-most home run in baseball history (647) or former Tigers fan favorite Curtis Granderson, who hit 43 home runs this season but is also struggling at the plate.

Yankees' lineup:

LF Ichiro Suzuki

RF Nick Swisher

2B Robinson Cano

1B Mark Teixeira

DH Raul Ibanez

3B Eric Chavez

C Russell Martin

CF Brett Gardner

SS Eduardo Nunez

It looks like Mother Nature is going to cooperate. As of noon, it is lightly raining in Detroit, but it's expected to slow and stop. The first pitch is scheduled for 4:07 p.m. The National Weather Service forecast calls for a 20% chance of rain and a high near 61 for this afternoon. Weather.com projects a 10% chance of rain starting at 1 p.m. through the rest of the night.

Wednesday night's game was postponed after a 90-minute delay.
