first time for him in the postseason he has not been fazed. iglesias to start the nvg. >> tim: iglesias got a good pitch to hit 0-2. ball right down the pipes. taken for strike three. i think it surprised him. probably thinking breslow was going to wait to pitch. he didn't. >> joe: now it's austin jackson. 1 for 13 in this series. takes ball one low. he has struck out twice in this game, 18 times already this postseason. in 33 at-bats. the 1-0 off the end of the bat, strike one. verlander it looks like is finished after eight. there is action for the tiger out in their pen. right now the focus on austin jackson. craig breslow. just outside. two balls and a strike. jackson hits 12 home runs during the regular season. ball three. 120-pitch game. looks like verlander started that conversation where that's it. eight innings. a run on four hits. but on the short end, a one-out walk. torii hunter coming up, john farrell is coming out. he's got kaz wow and uehara getting ready in the bull pen. >> tim: by taking out the left-hander you take away the w
