The game was effectively over by the third inning. Casey Mize was untouchable, and the Detroit Tigers offense piled up five runs in the first two frames to put the New York Yankees in an early hole they could never escape. Detroit won 7-3 at Yankee Stadium before 40,506 fans.
Mize was the story. The right-hander went seven innings, allowing one hit, walking nobody, and striking out 10 on 88 pitches. He did not allow a run. With a 2.63 ERA, Mize picked up his third win of the season against five losses. In this game, he also crossed 500 career innings pitched.
Detroit struck first in the opening inning when Dingler scored on a Torkelson single to center. The Tigers then broke the game open in the second, scoring 4 runs. McKinstry scored when a throwing error by third baseman Caballero allowed Vierling to reach safely. Outman then scored on a Dingler sacrifice fly. Lee's single to left brought home McGonigle and Vierling to push the lead to 5-0. The Tigers added 2 more in the fourth when McGonigle singled to left, scoring Vierling and Dingler to make it 7-0.
Ryan Weathers absorbed the loss for New York, falling to 3-6. He lasted just 1.2 innings, allowing 7 hits and 5 runs, only 2 of them earned, while walking one and striking out three on 55 pitches. The Yankees managed only 3 hits on the night against Mize and the Detroit bullpen, and their lone offensive moment came in the eighth when Amed Rosario homered to left center — a 378-foot shot — scoring Domínguez and Spencer Jones for a 7-3 final.
Rosario finished 1-for-1 with 3 RBI, his eighth home run of the season. Spencer Jones went 2-for-3 with two doubles. For Detroit, Dillon Dingler went 1-for-4 with 2 runs scored and an RBI. The loss extended New York's skid to four straight; the Yankees sit at 48-35. Detroit, despite the win, remains at 35-49 and has now lost two in a row.
