The game took place at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan and the final

giving up two runs on seven hits. He
walked three and struck out five and took his third loss of the season.
Alfredo Simon won his third game of
the season pitching 7 1/3 innings and giving up seven hits and a run. He walked none and struck out seven. Joba Chamberlain pitched to two batters and
retired them both and Joakim Soria pitched a perfect inning to record his fifth
save of the season.
Jacoby Ellsbury had a hit, Brett
Gardner had a hit and Teixeira had a hit and an RBI. Brian McCann had a hit, Chase Headley had two
hits and Didi Gregorius had a hit.

had two hits and Victor Martinez drew an intentional walk. J.D. Martinez had a hit and an RBI, Yoenis
Cespedes had a hit and an RBI and Nick Castellanos had a hit and drew a

The Tigers scored both of their runs in the seventh on a J.D. Martinez
RBI single and a Cespedes RBI single.
2-1 was the final score as the Tigers induced a groundball double play
with two men on in the eighth.

four on Tuesday night. It will be Nathan
Eovaldi on the mound for the Yankees against Kyle Lobstein. The Yankees will try to get back on the
winning track and ensure at least a 500 road trip with a win.
