The Tigers (35-49) and the Yankees (48-35) open a three-game series tonight in the Bronx. Each team takes the field at Yankee Stadium with a distinct limp after tough times over the weekend.
The Yankees were swept in Boston by the Red Sox and are 3-7 in their last ten games. As a result, they have fallen out of first in the AL East and now trail the Rays by a game. Detroit lost three of four at home against Houston and have now lost five of their last six to drop 14 games below .500.
New York’s weekend at Fenway was one to forget. The Yankees managed just nine total runs while being swept by the Red Sox, losing 6-3 on Thursday, 6-1 on Friday, 4-1 on Saturday, and 5-4 in 10 innings last night. The issues had everything to do with the offense…or lack thereof. The Yankees hit just .133 in the series (17-128) and were 4-24 (.167) with runners in scoring position.
Detroit’s weekend against Houston was slightly more successful. Although they did salvage one game of the series and did score 20 runs over the course of the four games, the Tigers continue to struggle to string together wins and climb back into the AL Central and Wild Card races.
The Yankees took two of three from Detroit in Motown last week.
Detroit hands the ball today to right-hander Casey Mize, who has quietly put together a strong season despite a 2-5 record. Mize owns a 2.95 ERA and 1.07 WHIP through 58 innings. He faced the Yankees last week on June 23 and allowed four runs on eight hits over 5.2 innings while striking out six in a 4-3 loss. Run support has been a big problem for Mize.
The Yankees counter with southpaw Ryan Weathers, who takes the bump with a 3.95 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 95 strikeouts in 86.2 innings. He pitched last week against New York on June 24. He earned the win after allowing just one earned run across six innings while striking out six in a 4-2 Yankees’ victory. After a rough stretch earlier in June, Weathers and the Yankees are hoping the lefty has rebounded and will try to build on that strong performance against a Tigers’ lineup he handled effectively last week.
