Tigers use home run barrage to beat Texas 7-5

The Rangers return to Arlington clinging to a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series and can clinch a return trip to the World Series with a Game Six win on Saturday.With their top relievers unavailable having worked three straight days, Tigers manager Jim Leyland put Detroit’s fate in the hands of ace Justin Verlander and the hard-throwing right-hander delivered as promised, holding the Rangers in check as the Tiger unleashed a home run barrage.Young, who was scratched from Game Two with a strained stomach muscle, broke out of his slump with his first two hits of the ALCS, a solo homer in the fourth and two-run blast in the sixth that keyed a decisive four-run burst.Ryan Raburn and Alex Avila also contributed solo shots, the four homers establishing a Tigers record for the most in one post-season game.
