Yankees fall 5-0 to Tigers, Carrasco struggles

In a frigid matchup at Comerica Park, the New York Yankees fell to the Detroit Tigers 5-0, marking their third consecutive loss. Tigers ace Tarik Skubal dominated the Yankees' lineup, throwing six shutout innings and retiring 16 consecutive batters after allowing two singles to start the game. The Yankees' Carlos Carrasco struggled, giving up four runs, including three home runs in a disastrous fourth inning. The Tigers took an early lead with a sacrifice fly from Zach McKinstry and added to their score with solo homers from Spencer Torkelson, McKinstry, and Dillon Dingler. Despite the Yankees' potent offense earlier in the season, they have struggled to score, managing only six runs during their current losing streak. The Yankees are hoping to bolster their rotation with the return of Clarke Schmidt, but Carrasco's future remains uncertain as the team navigates injuries to key pitchers.
