They settled for a split but one can’t help but feel like the New York Yankees left a win on the table against the fledgling Detroit Tigers. The Yankees bolstered the roster with the return of Gary Sanchez and additions of Andrew McCutchen and Adeiny Hechavarria, who flashed the leather. Between the Tigers and Chicago White Sox, the homestand ended at 3-4. Perhaps the Bronx Bombers will rise up to the competition as they head out to the West Coast.
Game 1
Entering the contest the Tigers had the fewest team home runs in baseball. So, naturally, they would turn into the 1987 Tigers and bash five home runs and edge the slugging Yankees 8-7.
