Tigers’ thrilling takedown of Yankees buried worrisome pregame lineup scratch

The Tigers' 12-2 win over the Yankees on Tuesday night was an absolute wonder of a game. Detroit fell to a 2-0 deficit when Aaron Judge passed Yogi Berra on the Yankees' all-time home run leaderboard in the first, and then Cody Bellinger hit a nuke off of Casey Mize in the fourth. However, Parker Meadows evened the score with a two-run shot in the fifth.

Mize rebounded and pitched his second solid outing in a row, but the Yankees absolutely imploded. Starter Will Warren was pulled after an outing that resembled Mize's — six innings, two earned runs — and Fernando Cruz took over on the mound for the seventh.
