The Yankees dropped a rain-shortened six-inning game to the Tigers earlier today. Chance Adams and Domingo Acevedo both got their clocks cleaned. Adams faced six batters and retired one, and Acevedo faced seven batters and retired two. They combined to allow ten runs and ten baserunners in one inning. Ouch. Albert Abreu tossed a scoreless inning though, so that’s cool.
Greg Bird kept pace with Luke Voit with an opposite field three-run home run. “It’s like a righty hit it,” said Aaron Boone to Coley Harvey, referring to how quickly the ball left the yard. Bird and Voit are a combined 5-for-9 (.
