Detroit Tigers Sweep Yankees With Historic Back-to-Back Blowouts

The Detroit Tigers dominated the New York Yankees in a recent series at Yankee Stadium, winning two games by large margins, including an 11-1 victory that marked their first season-series win against the Yankees since 2011. Gleyber Torres, a former Yankee, led the Tigers with three RBIs and a go-ahead two-run single, while Riley Greene, Kerry Carpenter, and Colt Keith contributed late two-run homers against a struggling Yankees bullpen. Despite a strong start by Aaron Judge in the finale, including two home runs that tied him with Joe DiMaggio for fourth on the Yankees' all-time list, the Yankees lost the final game 9-3, ending the series 2-1 in favor of Detroit. Spencer Torkelson had a notable performance with three hits in the series, though he is experiencing a power drought. The Tigers have outscored the Yankees 23-3 in the two blowout games, moving ahead of Toronto for the best record in the American League and extending their lead in the AL Central. President Donald Trump attended the Yankees' loss in the series finale, adding significance to the event.
