The winning run scored when a late defensive replacement singled and was batted in by a guy who entered the game late as a pinch runner.

Ironic wasn't it that the Rayburn misses the ball in left and was playing because he is the best defensive outfielder on the Tigers according to Leyland.
Twins had their share of goofs too: Baker grooves an 0-2 pitch to Carbrera that is hit out of the park, Young throws to the wrong base letting a runner advance, Casilla fails to properly tagg at 3rd and is thus thrown out at the plate by a whisker.
But there were a lot of great plays- Inge saving the game on Carbrera's hit by making a miraculous stop, Carbrera returning the favor on a bullet hit by Inge which was turned in to a double play.
It was just a whale of a game. For those of you old enough to have watched the 1991 WS (often called the best ever because every game but one went down to the last out with the game turning on the play) you come to expect this in the Dome. If the Twins split in NY (gigantic IF), you have to like the Twins' chances to pull a huge upset.
On paper it should be a rout (who would you rather have at 3b A-Rod or Matt Tolbert the Ole Miss grad who has played less than one full season in the bigs, Jeter or O-Cab, Cano or Punto of the .225 BA, Tschiera or Cuddyer at
1b. In the outfield Young or Matsui? Only in center field and catcher do the Twins have the edge. On the mound Sabbathia v. Duensing? Burnett v. Blackburn? Pettit v. Pavano?
But the games aren't played on the paper (ask the 06 Cubs said to be the greatest team ever).
