That was a frustrating loss, but one you could feel brewing as the Tigers went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position, failing to score with the bases loaded twice. Jason Foley continued to struggle, and the Yankees walked this one off in the bottom of the ninth.
Reese Olson was really good once again, and has inherited the “good starter who gets no run support” mantle so far this season. The young right-hander is on a roll, and while there were a lot of long at-bats that ran him pitch count up to 90 in the fifth inning, he blanked the Yankees on two hits and two walks, with five strikeouts.
