NEW YORK -- The Yankees mixed a lot of ugliness into nine innings of baseball again.
Facing the Detroit Tigers in the opener of a four-game series at Yankee Stadium, the Yanks continued their trend of poor play this week by botching a rundown, running themselves into outs and messing up routine groundballs.
Left-hander J.A. Happ, the new stud of their rotation, even had his first rough night in a Yankees uniform.
After all of that was overcame and the Yankees managed to take a two-run lead into the ninth, a rare chance to close for Dellin Betances led to his first really bad outing in months.
