Keeping tabs on every home run for the New York Yankees this season. While the Yanks lead major-league baseball with two grand slams, Monday was a solo act against the Detroit Tigers. CC Sabathia was brilliant and Alfredo Simon was equal to the task, as the Yanks dropped a 2-1 decision. A score that makes me say, I miss old Tiger Stadium.
It was the second inning, when Mark Teixeira took Simon deep to right, staking the Bronx Bombers to a 1-0 advantage. Hitting cleanup, the tater was Teixeira’s fourth of the campaign, 164th of his Yankee career and 367th of his career.
