Jeter breaks ankle, Delmon Young stars as Tigers beat Yankees 6-4 in 12 innings in ALCS opener

• NEW YORK (AP) -- The Detroit Tigers took the lead on Delmon Young's ringing

double in the 12th inning. Then came the blow that really staggered the New York Yankees.
• A little grounder up the middle left Derek Jeter sprawled in the dirt, screaming in pain. The Yankees had lost more than the AL championship series opener -- they had lost their captain for the rest of the postseason with a broken left ankle.
• Detroit's 6-4 win and Jeter's injury on Saturday night capped a game of wild swings and wild swings of emotion.
• "Watching Jete go down was, and still is, a very difficult moment for us as a team and what he means to us, a great player and the great leader that he is," said Raul Ibanez, who hit yet another tying home run as the Yankees rallied from a 4-0 deficit in the ninth inning.
• Jeter rolled when he reached down in an attempt to glove Jhonny Peralta's grounder up the middle in the 12th, planted his left foot and tumbled, landing on his stomach. Unable to move, he made a backhand flip toward second baseman Robinson Cano -- the same motion he made in the famous play against Oakland 11 years ago.
