Detroit — The Tigers have fallen back on one of their less endearing traits, one that dogged them through the early part of the season. The small margin for error trait.
Lefty starter Tarik Skubal − just as rookie Reese Olson did Monday night and Alex Faedo on Sunday − pitched well enough to win Tuesday. He allowed three runs (two earned) through six innings. A quality start, by definition.
But the offense lay dormant and the Yankees beat the Tigers for the second night in a row, 4-2. It’s the fourth straight loss and they fall to a season-worst 14 games under .
