Detroit TigersvsNew York Yankees
DET 9/NYY 3
Things to say
The Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees 9-3 at Yankee Stadium.
01
opener
Man, the Tigers just went into the Bronx and put up a nine-spot. Nine to three. Nobody saw that coming with where Detroit's been sitting.
02
key player
Whoever the Tigers ran out there kept getting into his stuff — Yankees never squared him up. Three runs is nothing at that ballpark.
03
hot take
Honestly the Yankees look flat. Forty-eight and thirty-seven means nothing if the heart of the order goes quiet like that.
04
deep cut
Detroit's a sub-.500 club, thirty-seven and forty-nine, and they hung nine on the road. That's the kind of game that flips a slump.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the Yankees answer it tomorrow — you don't want to lose the series at home.
The recap
Detroit rolled into the Bronx and left with a statement, hanging nine on the Yankees for a 9-3 win that never felt that close. The bats did the heavy lifting up and down the order, and once the lineup got into New York's staff early, the pressure never let up.
Meanwhile the Yankees couldn't string anything together, scratching out just three and leaving too many ducks on the pond. Getaway day in the Bronx and the Tigers stole it clean.
