For all the quiet postgame clubhouses, the sometimes-grumpy players, oftentimes empty quotes, the scene on Thursday evening at Yankee Stadium was probably a stark contrast.
I watched the Detroit Tigers’ improbable comeback over the Yankees on Thursday night from my couch — beat writers need days off, too. But I’m guessing there was loud rap music and smiles and not only a sense of relief from winning a game, but a sense that they will win another game in the Bronx this weekend — or two.
Trailing by two runs entering the ninth inning, the Tigers authored what likely will hold up as their most memorable win of the season, hitting a pair of home runs off Dellin Betances in the team’s 8-7 win over the Yankees.
