Hicks’ 2 Homers Push Yankees Past Tigers

DETROIT (AP) — Aaron Hicks came sliding across home plate on his stomach, a little tired but plenty excited after a rare inside-the-park home run.

Four innings later, Hicks hit another homer that cleared the wall by plenty, but it was his first tour of the bases that was the highlight of this night.

“I like the first one. It’s a lot more exciting,” Hicks said. “It was a lot of fun, actually. Once you’re rounding that third bag right there, it’s kind of fun seeing if you can make it or not.”
