Here’s a clean rewrite of your Yankees-Tigers recap, keeping the key details intact while tightening the flow and refreshing the language:
Yankees' Bats Go Quiet in Loss to Tigers Amid Snowy Detroit Conditions
The New York Yankees entered Monday afternoon’s matchup against the Detroit Tigers leading Major League Baseball in both runs and home runs. But in the freezing, snowy weather at Comerica Park, their offense was nowhere to be found.
Behind a strong outing from Casey Mize, the Tigers handed the Yankees a 6-2 loss, holding New York’s powerful lineup largely in check.
Mize, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, continued his excellent start to the season with six innings of one-run ball. He scattered four hits, walked three, and struck out six to lower his ERA to 0.75 through two starts.
Aaron Judge drove in a run with a 1-for-3 day, while Paul Goldschmidt went 2-for-4. But the bottom of the Yankees lineup struggled mightily — hitters No. 5 through No. 9 combined to go just 2-for-20, with Jazz Chisholm Jr., Anthony Volpe, and Oswaldo Cabrera each going hitless in four at-bats.
Yankees starter Carlos Rodón needed more support than he got. The lefty allowed six runs (five earned) over six innings, with four hits, three walks, and six strikeouts. His biggest mistake came in the third inning, when a missed call and a poorly located changeup led to a three-run homer by Andy Ibáñez.
“He doesn’t get a call there, and then he yanks the changeup — that’s the one pitch he’d like back,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone told YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits. “Outside of that, I thought he pitched really well.”
Ibáñez finished with three RBIs, while Justyn-Henry Malloy drove in two more for Detroit. Jake Rogers drew three walks and scored twice from the bottom of the order, helping set the table for the Tigers’ top hitters.
Mize, meanwhile, backed up his previous scoreless outing against the Mariners with another stellar performance, solidifying his status as a breakout arm for Detroit.
The Tigers (6-4) have now won four straight and five of their last seven after being swept by the Dodgers to open the season. The Yankees (6-4) have dropped back-to-back games, giving up six runs in each.
New York will try to bounce back Tuesday in another chilly afternoon game, facing reigning AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal (0-2, 5.91 ERA). Carlos Carrasco (1-0, 7.36 ERA) gets the ball for the Yankees.
