Yankees wake up from sleepy start to beat Tigers 7-5

This one had it all, folks. A night after throwing away a game against the Tigers, the Yankees won a thriller in game two of the four-game series. They did so thanks to some timely hitting, big home runs, and the most memorable ejection Aaron Boone has had this year. More on that in a minute, though.

The Bombers were down a run entering the eighth inning, but Brett Gardner got things going with a leadoff double. Aaron hicks worked a walk two batters later, and eventually Luke Voit found himself up with two on and two out.
