New York — What exactly the Yankees were expecting this weekend at their home ballpark is easily answered.
A romp against one of the worst teams in baseball, the Tigers of Detroit.
That's because almost everyone expected it, at least this side of the Tigers, who have managed to harass and irritate one of baseball's elite teams, as the Tigers did again Saturday, all before losing another tight one to their Bronx hosts, 2-1.
The Tigers' afternoon was concise:
The Yankees got two hits on the day — two — but scored twice, thanks to one of those hits being a two-run homer in the fifth from Gleyber Torres.
