The New York Yankees are in a full-on freefall — and Monday night in the Bronx was just the latest chapter in a miserable stretch of baseball. Detroit Tigers righty Casey Mize walked into Yankee Stadium and completely dismantled the Bronx Bombers — seven innings, one hit, zero walks, and ten strikeouts, matching a career high.
The Tigers won 7-3, handing New York its fifth straight loss. Yankees starter Ryan Weathers lasted just one-plus innings as the Tigers jumped out to a five-nothing lead through two. A throwing error by third baseman Jose Caballero turned a manageable inning into a four-run disaster.
The Yankees managed just three hits on the night — Ben Rice struck out three times, and Cody Bellinger went oh-for-four. The Yankees, who were swept in four games at Boston over the weekend, are now on a five-game slide and sit at forty-eight and thirty-six — clinging to second place in the A-L East.
Tonight, the pitching matchup at Yankee Stadium is a marquee one. Detroit sends two-time reigning A-L Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal — three and four with a three-thirty-two E-R-A — against Yankees ace Cam Schlittler, who is eight and four with a sparkling one-sixty-two E-R-A. First pitch at 7:05 Eastern.
