The Yankees traveled to Detroit on Tuesday to face the Tigers for the first game of a three-game series. After ripping off three straight wins to take a series in Boston, the Bombers kept rolling early on in tonight’s game, but an early lead quickly evaporated, and New York was left with one of their more bizarre losses of the season.
Brett Gardner started off the game with a solo home run in the first inning, giving the Yankees a 1-0 lead. The Yankees would then go on to extend their lead to six by the end of the second, and it looked they might run away with things.
