The Yankees had already been struggling offensively, but Wednesday they made the wrong kind of history.
The Bombers struck out 18 times against four Tigers pitchers, setting a new club record for a nine-inning game in their 2-1 loss at Yankee Stadium.
All 10 Yankees who took an at-bat struck out at least once, with Gleyber Torres and Mike Tauchman leading the way with three each. Tigers starter Matthew Boyd was responsible for 13 strikeouts, a career-high, over 6 ¹/u2083 innings before relievers Buck Farmer, Joe Jimenez and Shane Greene came in for more of the same.
