2006 ALDS Game 4 Jorge Posada Homerun

Detroit finished off New York behind another dominating pitching performance, this time by Jeremy Bonderman in an 8-3 clinching win. In the second inning, Magglio Ordóñez and Craig Monroe homered off Jaret Wright to give the Tigers a 30 lead. After giving up an unearned run in the 3rd, Wright was replaced by Cory Lidle, who ended the inning without further damage, pitched a perfect 4th, but allowed two runs in the 5th. Brian Bruney and Scott Proctor each allowed a Tiger run to put the game out of reach. Bonderman, meanwhile, pitched a no-hitter from the 1st-5th innings. Robinson Canó singled in the 6th for the Yankees' first hit, but Bonderman prevented any further damage. The Yankees ended their 20-inning shutout streak with a Hideki Matsui RBI. Bonderman left the game in the 9th inning with one on and one out. Jamie Walker gave up a two-run homer to Jorge Posada in the 9th before getting Robinson Canó to ground out to end the game and send the Tigers to the 2006 ALCS against the Oakland Athletics. The game is also notable as Corey Lidle made his final appearance before his death in an airplane crash a few days later, and for the final ALDS game televised by FOX (due to the new TV contracts), at least for the foreseeable future.
