Domínguez's first Yankee Stadium homer, 3 hits lift Yanks over Tigers and above .500

NEW YORK — Jasson Domínguez turned on an inside fastball and lined it over the right-field wall for the first of what likely will be many home runs at Yankee Stadium.

"He kind of has that `it' factor," Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt said.

Domínguez's homer broke a third-inning tie and had three hits for his first multihit game, leading New York over the Detroit Tigers 4-3 on Wednesday night. The Yankees matched their longest winning streak this year at five and, with their eighth win in nine games, got back over .500 (70-69) for the first time in three weeks.
