Same lineups, different weather for Game 4

October 18, 2012 - 1:11 PM

DETROIT -- It was windy and drizzling early this morning in the Motor City. By 11:30, it was pouring. But the forecast is holding and less than three hours before the first pitch of rain-delayed Game Four, the sun is out at Comerica Park and we should be good to go for a 4:07 start.

And there's this nugget of news: Both teams are using the same lineups. That means, just like last night, no Granderson and no A-Rod for the Yankees.

It will be Ichiro, lf; Swisher, rf; Cano, 2b; Teixeira, 1b; Ibanez, dh; Chavez, 3b; Martin, c; Gardner, cf; Nunez, ss
