Detroit — Zach Short made a diving stop to get the runner out at second. The Tigers, who had lost five straight, were on their way to closing a dismal home stand with a complete, team victory. The throw down to first— potentially the final out of a shutout win — was late.
And you can probably guess what happened next: Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe, the tying run at the plate, not only broke up the shutout, but also tied the game with a two-out, three-run homer that barely cleared the right-field wall at Comerica Park on Thursday afternoon.
