Tigers 12, Yankees 11: Jordy Mercer walks it off in thrilling victory over league’s best

It was a battle of worst against first at Comerica Park on Tuesday night. The team with the worst record in Major League Baseball went up against the team with the best, but in true David vs. Goliath fashion, it was your Detroit Tigers who came out victorious against the New York Yankees in a wild 12-11 shootout.

If you turned it off after the second inning, then boy did you miss one heck of a game. The Yankees bludgeoned Tigers’ starter Edwin Jackson out of the game with a five run second inning and led 6-0 at that point.
