On a hot night in the Bronx, the Tigers battled the Yankees in the second game of three at Yankee Stadium. The Tigers lost Matt Manning after only an inning of work to injury, so the bullpen was tasked with carrying the load. While they did an admirable job holding the Bronx Bombers to only four runs, the offense only tallied three runs on six hits on its way to a 4-3 loss.
The Tigers got the party started right away in the first inning. Zach McKinstry, hitting in the two-hole doubled to right field with one out.
