New York YankeesvsDetroit Tigers
NYY 4/DET 3
Things to say
The Yankees edged the Tigers 4-3 on the road at Comerica Park.
01
opener
Yankees grabbed it 4-3 in Detroit. Tight one the whole way. Came down to the bullpen, like it always does with these two.
02
key player
The Yankees' starter set the tone early, got into his stuff and went deep into the game before handing it off. Heart of the order did just enough behind him.
03
hot take
Tigers gave that one away. You don't score three at home and lose to New York unless your bats go quiet in the big spots.
04
deep cut
Watch the late innings. Detroit's manager went to the pen a hair too early and it cost them the lead. One run, that's the whole ballgame.
05
exit
It's a getaway day tomorrow, so we'll see if the Tigers can split the series before they hit the road.
The recap
Yankees grind out a 4-3 win in Detroit to grab the road game. It was a one-run nailbiter the whole way, the kind where the bullpen has to slam the door late and they did just enough.
New York moves to 47-31 and keeps rolling, while the Tigers drop to 34-45 and let another tight one slip away at Comerica. Heart of the order did enough damage to make it stand up.
