followed by a Headley RBI triple to make it 8-4. I don't know if I have ever seen back-to-back
triples and if I have it was a long time ago.
In the fourth the Yankees extended their lead to 10-4 on a Gregorius two
run double. Teixeira capped the scoring
with a three run homerun in the seventh and it was 13-4.
The two teams will complete their
series with a Thursday afternoon game.
Masahiro Tanaka will face Anibel Sanchez. The Yankees will look to take the series
three out of four and the Tigers will try to earn the split in the series. The Yankees will then head home after a long
ten game road trip and they will face the New York Mets. The Yankees with a win could also have a great
7-3 road trip.
