New York Yankees lose a close one in the ninth as bats continue to be cold


The New York Yankees were defeated by the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.  The game took place at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York and the final score was 3-1.  Masahiro Tanaka started for the Yankees and he pitched well.  Aroldis Chapman didn’t pitch very well and the offense didn’t do much of anything. 

Tanaka pitched 6 2/3 innings giving up eight hits and a run with no walks and seven strikeouts.  Adam Ottavino pitched 1 1/3 innings with three strikeouts and Chapman pitched an inning giving up three hits and two runs with a walk and two strikeouts.  Chapman took his first loss of the season. 

Jordan Zimmerman pitched 6 2/3 innings giving up six hits and a run with a walk and six strikeouts.  Daniel Stumpf pitched to one batter and struck him out, Joe Jimenenz pitched a perfect inning with a strikeout and Shane Greene earned his third save of the season pitching a perfect inning. 

Aaron Judge had a hit and drew a walk, DJ LeMahieu had two hits and Mike Tauchman had a hit.  Clint Frazier had an RBI, Tyler Wade had a hit and Austin Romine had a hit.  Tachman hit a double and the Yankees were 0-3 with runners in scoring position and left six men on base.  Wade had a stolen base. 

Josh Harrison had a hit, Nick Castellanos had two hits and Miguel Cabrera had a hit.  Jeimer Candelario had two hits, John Hicks had two hits and an RBI and Niko Goodrum drew a walk.  Dustin Peterson had a hit and an RBI, Grayson Greiner had a hit and Jordy Mercer had a hit and an RBI.  Hicks, Greiner, Peterson each hit a double and Candelario hit two doubles.  The Tigers were 3-12 with runners in scoring position and left eight men on base. 

In the second Frazier hit a sac fly to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead.  In the sixth Hicks hit an RBI double to tie the game at one.  In the ninth Peterson hit an RBI double and Mercer hit an RBI single to give the Tigers a 3-1 lead and that would be the final score of the game. 

The two teams have split the first two games and the rubber game will be on Wednesday afternoon.
