Jose Valverde will not be used if the Tigers have a save chance in Game 2 of the ALCS. Manager Jim Leyland wants to give the struggling reliever a break, though he says he still considers Valverde his closer. "If I have to mix and match for a longer period of time, I'll do that," Leyland said. Papa Grande blew the save by allowing three runs in Game 4 of the ALDS against the A's and served up a pair of two-run homers in the ninth inning of Game 1 of the ALCS. Octavio Dotel, Joaquin Benoit and Al Alburquerque are options for the ninth inning in Game 2 if the Tigers have a save chance.
