The New York Yankees (46–31) and the Detroit Tigers (34–44) meet for game 2 of their three-game series tonight at Comerica Park. The Tigers took the opener, 5–3. Riley Greene led Detroit to victory. The slugger homered and reached base three times, while the Yankees’ offense couldn’t overcome a rough outing from Gerrit Cole, who allowed five runs in just over four innings. Framber Valdez earned his fourth win of the season allowing one run over six innings. The Yankees did have baserunners but were just 1-5 with runners in scoring position. That was actually an improvement from the previous two games in which they went a combined 0-22 with ducks on the pond. Anthony Volpe and Paul Goldschmidt each picked up a couple hits for New York. Spencer Torkelson had two hits for Detroit.
The loss was the Yankees’ third in a row. It is the first time in over a month they have lost three straight. They will look to snap that skid tonight while the Tigers will look to make it five straight wins. Tampa lost as well last night so New York still holds first place in the AL East by a couple games. With the win, Detroit is now five games back in the Wild Card chase and 6.5 games behind in the AL Central.
On the mound, the Yankees turn to Carlos Rodón (3–2, 3.50 ERA), a left-hander who has allowed three earned runs in each of his last two starts without reaching the seventh inning in either. Taking the ball for Detroit will be right-hander Casey Mize (2–4, 2.58 ERA), who was roughed up a bit in his last start allowing three earned runs in just 4.2 innings against Houston. He had not allowed more than two runs in any of his previous seven starts.
