The Yankees rolled over the Tigers 10-2 last night at Comerica Park.
Jordan Zimmermann took the loss after giving up seven runs on nine hits, including two home runs, in five innings. Detroit scored on the long ball as Ian Kinsler and Jose Iglesias each hit a solo homer.
Luis Severino struck out eight over six-and-two-thirds innings of one-run ball to improve to 11-and-5.
Gary Sanchez, Didi Gregorius and Chase Headley all homered for New York.
The Tigers have lost eight of their last nine games.
In this afternoon's series finale, Michael Fulmer gets the nod for the Tigers, while Jaime Garcia goes to the hill for the Yankees.
