Then again, this is the Tigers, and they have a long track record of making awful pitchers look good and good pitchers look awful.

The Yankees were basically dominated by Max Scherzer, so you don't need to be upset about losing to Burnett. The Tigers didn't exactly have their ace on the hill either. The two defensive plays from Granderson were huge, perhaps even beyond huge. Granted he misplayed the ball in the first a bit but if that ball gets over his head Burnett never even sees the 2nd inning. The 6th inning play was at a time when the game still somewhat hung in the balance.
