They say it’s tough to win doubleheaders, but that’s no excuse. Sloppy defense, wasted opportunities on offense, and questionable managerial decisions cost the Yankees their sixth straight win. New York dropped the nightcap of the split-admission twinbill to the Tigers 4-2 at Comerica Park.
The Tigers drew first blood in a scary bottom of the second. Leonys Martin led off with a double which deflected off German’s hand and into left field. German was examined during an injury delay, but thankfully appeared to be unhurt and remained in the game. The Yankees failed to escape unscathed, though.
