Beau Brieske shines, but Tigers still can't solve Yankees pitching

New York — There wasn't much to like about the Tigers performance Saturday, dominated for the second straight game by the American League East-leading New York Yankees, 3-0 at Yankee Stadium.

Except for rookie right-hander Beau Brieske. After the Tigers were pounded for 13 runs Friday night, Brieske shut the Yankees down on two runs and three hits and kept the Tigers in contention for six strong innings.

Both hits against him left the yard. Solo shots.

Aaron Judge hit the first pitch of the game, a 95-mph fastball, into the seats in right field.
