Yankees 4, Tigers 2: Michael King and clutch home runs net back-to-back wins

This is what playing the kids looks like. Anthony Volpe looked pretty silly in his first three ABs, striking out each time, and clobbered his 19th home run in his final AB. Everson Pereira has not looked great at the plate, but gave a full-effort dive in the ninth inning and a quick throw saved a run — or rather, delayed one from scoring for the moment. And Michael King and Jhony Brito, neither of whom were starters at the beginning of the season, teamed up to throw 7.1 shutout innings as the Yankees beat the Tigers 4-2

King was fantastic, throwing 61 pitches across four shutout innings, and looking more and more like he could be a real option for the rotation in 2024.
