Yankees Shut Out at Comerica Park: Detroit Tigers Seal the Deal

In a regular-season game that saw the New York Yankees face off against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park, the outcome was not what Yankees fans had hoped for.

Yankees Struggle to Capitalize


Throughout nine innings, the New York Yankees found themselves unable to turn their hits into runs, leaving a total of 13 runners on base. Despite managing six hits throughout the game, they failed to convert these opportunities into scores. The team's batting average was notably low at .188, with an on-base percentage (OBP) of just .212 and slugging percentage (SLG) standing at .188 as well. These figures underscored a challenging day at bat for them where they couldn't find their rhythm against Detroit's pitchers.


Paul Goldschmidt and Aaron Judge were among those who tried to ignite some offense for their team. Goldschmidt hit an impressive .750 in his appearances at bat with an OBP of .75 and SLG of .75 but without any runs batted in (RBI). Judge also contributed with a batting average of .500 and an OBP of .5 during his time at plate but similarly could not bring any runners home.

Tigers Take Control


On the other side, Detroit capitalized on key moments that defined their victory over New York. They amassed five runs off nine hits throughout various innings which included significant scoring during both second and fourth innings where they scored one and three runs respectively. Their ability to convert hits into scores was evident from their performance in critical situations.


The pitching staff from both teams had notable performances as well; however, Carlos Carrasco from New York faced challenges on mound allowing four earned runs across just over four innings pitched which reflected in his ERA standing at 8.308 after this game.
