The New York Yankees secured a 4-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers in Detroit on Wednesday, clinching the series win. Key offensive contributions came from Paul Goldschmidt, who hit two home runs, and Jasson Domínguez, who delivered a go-ahead, two-run homer in the sixth inning off Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal.
Skubal, the two-time reigning Cy Young Award winner, matched a career high by surrendering three home runs in the game, a mark he had not reached since 2021. Despite the home runs, Skubal limited the Yankees to just one other hit, did not issue any walks, and struck out nine batters across six innings. He took the loss, dropping his record to 3-4.
For the Yankees, starting pitcher Ryan Weathers was credited with the win. Weathers allowed two runs—only one earned—over six innings, giving up six hits, walking two, and striking out six. Relief pitching duties were handled by Yerry De Los Santos and Fernando Cruz, who combined for two innings of scoreless relief. David Bednar closed the game with a scoreless ninth inning to earn his 16th save of the season.
The Yankees will look to continue their momentum as they begin a four-game series against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Thursday.
