The Yanks Win 2-1 over Detroit in Walk-Off fashion on Friday! Read The Recap!

In the first game of the series against the Detroit Tigers, the New York Yankees clinched a thrilling 2-1 victory in walk-off fashion!

Marcus Stroman took the mound for the Yankees, pitching 5.1 innings with three hits allowed, one earned run, five walks, and three strikeouts. Despite grappling with command issues, Stroman adeptly navigated out of tight spots, as the Tigers left ten runners stranded on base. Following Stroman's performance, Hamilton, Gonzalez, and Santana combined for 3.2 innings of impeccable pitching, conceding only two hits and two walks, effectively stifling the Tigers' offense.

The Yankees' bats struggled initially, managing just six hits and five walks throughout the game. Trailing 1-0 heading into the ninth inning, the tension mounted. Giancarlo Stanton ignited the comeback with an RBI double, knotting the score at 1-1. Then, the spotlight turned to Anthony Rizzo, whose walk-off RBI single, driving in Verdugo, sealed the dramatic win for the Yankees.

Looking ahead, the Yankees have two more games remaining in the series. Despite recent offensive struggles, there's optimism that some players will find their groove at the plate. With hopes of capitalizing on momentum, there's anticipation for a potential series sweep by Sunday's conclusion.
