Quick hits

• Leyland's one-liner of the night came when he was asked about his initial reaction when the Tigers signed Prince Fielder in January.

"The first thing I thought," he said, "was that we found a whole bunch of money in a short period of time because we couldn't even sign a relief pitcher for a million dollars about a week before that. So evidently we sold a lot of Little Caesars [pizzas] in a short period of time. And I'm glad we did."

• Miguel Cabrera has reached base safely in all 14 of his postseason games with the Tigers, the third-longest streak in franchise history. Hank Greenberg set the Tigers' standard with an 18-game streak, while Charlie Gehringer had a 16-game stretch.

• Don Kelly's game-winning sac fly on Sunday made him the third player in Major League history to deliver a walk-off RBI in a postseason game after entering as a pinch-runner. Aaron Boone did it with his memorable home run for the Yankees to win Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS. Houston's Chris Burke did it in Game 4 of the 2005 National League Division Series.
