 We are under the lights as the show gets you ready for another edition of Major League Baseball a good matchup here for you tonight between the New York Yankees and the Detroit Tigers. It's Tigers baseball and it's coming up next. Spencer Turnbull is ready to go as he'll be on the mound for Detroit. What's your take on him Dan? Hey we're gonna get a chance to look at a guy that is a little bit up and down throughout points of his career. A career ERA just over four. When he's good he can be really good and when he's bad well let's just say he can be pretty bad at times but it'll be interesting to see which one we see. He's a little bit of Jekyll and Hyde. Hopefully he's gonna be a little bit more Jekyll than Hyde in this one here today. So here's the veteran Brett Gardner. He'll get us started in this one under the lights. And we're underway as the first pitch is a check swing but a called strike 0-1. So guys these Tigers as they begin play here tonight even after the victory last time out they come in trying to turn things around as they've been slumping of late winning in just three of their last nine games. Yeah Matty the first game of any series is super important. You have a chance to set the tone whether it's three game set or a four game set you take the first one you put that other team on their heels. From the wind up the 1 1 pitch and it's 1 and 2 53 degrees here at game time as it's cooled off considerably since batting practice this afternoon. Here's the 1 and 2 delivery line towards center field into a slide and he makes a great catch for the first down. That will bring in Giovanni Urchella and he's definitely off to a fast start in the early part of the season. He's ready. Here's the first offering. Good slider there gets his swing and miss Urchella hits right handed pitching very well makes a lot of contact but he generally isn't known for displaying a lot of power. You'll see a lot of line drives and ground balls from him in these situations. Yeah I almost think he has too good of hand-eye coordination Matty sometimes maybe just attacks that pitch that's not there to do major damage with but could just drive it up the middle the other way and take his knock and that's what he's been able to do. Got him swinging chased it well out of the zone and there are two gone pretty textbook pitching right there jump ahead and count 0 2 and then start working outside the zone easier said than done but that's the way you do it. And that'll bring up Glibertura as he'll take a called strike here on a borderline pitch at strike one. He'll check in here at two fifty six two home runs and eight runs batted in one pitch on its way Swung on and chopped down the line at third but this will be a foul ball as he's behind 0 and 2 now now pitch on the way and won't offer it that too high one and two two out nobody on late making contact on that swing and we'll do it again on one and two now here's the pitch this one's down to third pro to first in plenty of time and the side is retired thanks go one two three Yankees nothing Tigers coming to bat you're watching Major League Baseball on the show Jay Hap a south ball from Illinois gets the starting call in this one. What do we need to know here Danny. Hey Matt and a Dane age where runs are scored at an alarming rate. This guy's been pretty rock solid. Last three starts ERA under two point zero zero not an easy thing to do and you'll know if he's on early he's good and on point in the first inning that usually means he's going to be rock solid throughout the rest of the game standing in Cameron may been elite things off here in the bottom half of the first and he gets ahead here with the fastball strike one and as the Yankees get started here tonight guys despite the loss last time out they'd won four in a row so they'd been on a nice little roll here. Yeah guys yesterday's loss was a tough one a one run loss. Hopefully they were able to just acclimate themselves to the city get a chance to hit the streets maybe regroup a little bit and show up today ready to go. Therefore it is Stanton and he's got it for the first out now to the plate Harold Castro and he's definitely off to a fast start in the early part of the season pitch on the way checks his swing but this pitch is right there for strike one half has hurled more than seventeen hundred innings in the majors during his career and over those innings he's collected over fifteen hundred strikeouts wind up and the 01 one out nobody on and he looks at a ball one and two now time to list the umpires in this one behind the plate is Jerry Hillsdale Dero Jerry Hillsdale is going to be one of the more solid everyday umpires in the league right now. Yeah I think he's one of the best in the business Dan high praise all around you go into both meetings with the managers and what do they do they rave about Jerry Hillsdale 2 2 doesn't get the zone count full now boy went from being in the driver's seat to now being in some trouble had to count 0 and 2 started nipping at the corners and this count stands at 3 and 2 now the payoff pitch home now a ball lined to the left side but foul another payoff pitch left center base hit Dan as a former pitcher are you privy to this guy I mean he's been swinging it that well I know it's only April but he's been using the entire field Stan line the line that's what makes it so hard as a pitcher when you can't go one way when you pitch a guy in he pulls it when you throw it away he hits it the other way he's having that ability right now just to be able to get the barrel to it and he's having a real strong beginning this season first pitch of the at bat and a fastball to start things out here not close it's a ball and no strikes starts to go around but the home plan umpire says he held up ball to Castro stands at first with one out lying to the right side and that finds some outfield grass it's a base hit and this one scoots all the way to the wall the relay not in time and he's in there with a double everyone knows that this guy's numbers are not where he wants them to be so far this year but you never know by that swing he looked fluid and confident driving that pitch for a double we'll see if that gets him going a bit so that'll bring up Jonathan scope as the first pitch years have been high it's ball one it'll enter play here with an average just over 250 five homers nine driven in ready with the 1 0 squared that one up just a little late down the left field line and deep and this will wind up a foul ball second and third here one man out he got him and it'll probably take a base hit now to get that runner across from third so that'll bring up CJ Crone in past meetings with J half he sold me four hits in twenty one at bats two of those hits were for home runs first delivery to him on the way swing and a miss at a changeup that has him all kinds of goofed up at the plate second and third two away and it's quickly oh and two here it is high in the air down the right field line but this is going to wind up a foul ball that it's one and two after multiple pitches were filed off it gets a little disappointing as a pitcher so you think say I'm going to throw one way off the plate and see if he'll chase it didn't happen runners at second and third with two gone to two balls and two strikes now I bet these hitters are taking note of what the guy on the hill is working with along at that like this in the first inning can reveal a lot change up taken for ball three well below the zone some pitchers fall into the trap of getting in on three and two because they don't want to walk the guy but with the base open it's not the end of the world if you do you still need a body pitch the payoff pitch pitch popped up for Shella is there he's got it and that'll get him out of the jam Tiger strand a pair and this is still a nothing nothing ball game new winning set to get underway coming to the plate now look void and he's definitely off to a fast start in the early part of the season first pitch of the at bat on its way and this is taken for ball one bite at that one either it's two and oh hit on the ground to short in the dirt and I can't quite dig it out but definite problems on that last one and they'll hit the first baseman for the error and that'll bring up Tyler way and he's definitely off to a fast start in the early part of the season first pitch of the at bat tried to check it in its own one nobody outrunner on first that one doesn't even sniff the zone missing very high the one one waves and misses for strike number two one two really bunch him up on that one as he swings and misses for the first out that was a nasty looking slider that time yeah that was really well executed man like classic strikeout pitch you think it's fastball middle in then it starts bearing in on your back leg and unless you hit it out front there's nothing much you can do with that. Giancarlo Stanton now as he'll take a look at a pitch too low it's ball one still planted to be desired in terms of batting average down in the 180s entering play five homers and 11 RBI's the 1 0 clearly working the bottom of the zone trying to get a ground ball for a double play ready with the 2 0 3 and 0 now. Wow this is the kind of count you'd like to get your superstar hitters in right 3 0 you can bet he has the green light on this pitch a strike and it's 3 and 1 Giancarlo swings and this ball is hit well into left field and out of here and I mean by plenty that ball was crushed long to run homer off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton sixth home run on the season for him and this is now a two to nothing lead for the Yankees. No surprise with that swing of the bat this guy is simply one of the best in the game right now there's not too many guys that take a beautiful hack like that in the league. Here's the second baseman DJ LeMayhew as he will take strike one on the fastball here no balls in a strike. He's ready for his first dad bat of his early season contest the wind up and the 0 1 I get it. He wants to see this guy's repertoire but now he's behind an account puts himself in a tough spot to hit popped him up prone in foul ground. He's got it and there are two down now. The designated hitter Mike Ford set to get his evening at the plate started Mike Ford. And it's been a real struggle for him with the bats so far this year looking to get things turned around in a hurry grounded to short on the first gets him in the side is retired Yankees get a couple on the two run homer on onto the bottom of ending number two. It's now to nothing New York leading off the inning. Austin Roman and they'll need him to get something going here. Hey we're still in the early stages in this one. They're only down by a couple of runs but it's really key for this lead up guy to try to get on and get a big inning started. First offering on its way starts him with a good rising fastball there for strike one. Hey this offense better be prepared to pull a trigger. This starter is known to be aggressive and come right after you. Nothing in one count. Here it comes. Ball one as he lays off below the zone. Good weekly down the line toward third. Reigned in throws in time and that's out number one. Digging in. Kristen Stewart. He's ready for his first at bat of his early season contest. Infield in the over shift here now the pitch and a good idea to hold off on that swing. It's ball one bases are empty one man out on the corner away a ball and a strike and he turns on one sending it high and deep to right. Boom goes the dynamite shot here to straight away right field first home run of the campaign for him and the Tigers have cut this to a two to one ball game. You tie things up but they're only down one right now and feeling pretty good. They can come back as you look at a change up the drops below the knees for ball one. They'll enter play here with an average just over two fifty three homers and fifteen RBI is going to find the seats strike one and there's a base hit on the line. Dan how hard is it to massage your way through such a deep lineup. You know Mark these days you're not seeing a lot of defensive specialists in the infield or outfield. If you're in that starting lineup these days there's a pretty good job you could swing the bat. Next batter Jamer Candelario one in one out and one on here in the against left handed pitching so far this season. Candelario is a three hundred hitter on the dot. Can't complain about that. His bat and average right now certainly signifies that this guy is having a great year. I'm very interested to see how this guy finishes up. He's running pitch outside the throw and it skips in as he steals the bag easily. That's pretty savvy base running right. A lot of pitchers don't throw over twice a row. So I think he was going to get a little bit better. Pretty savvy base running right. A lot of pitchers don't throw over twice a row. So I think he was going on first movement and it worked out nicely one and one. Here it comes. He took something off of it there. It's one and two on the year. Candelario comes into action carrying a slugging line above 470. Obviously a potent hitter looking to do some damage right here lays off a pitch outside as they draw even at two and two. Just a second inning but already 37 pitches to this point. Here's one that misses inside and the counts run full now three and two. Well he really needs to make this guy swing the bat right here. He's not the type of hitter you want to dance around with lifted in the center field. Gardner is there and he makes the catch for the second out and no tag at second. He'll head back there with two away now. So stepping in Cameron may been as he'll look to bring home that tying run from second with the base hit into the outfield ready to deliver. Here's the first pitch. Wow that's 40 pitches for him already. This doesn't have the makings of a start that he's going to go very deep ready with the 1 0 and a fastball here that's taken for ball two. Now you can see he's working around this guy right here. He's not. First base is open. Walk wouldn't be the worst thing in this spot. Ready with the 2 0 lifted in the air out towards left center. Gardner on the move. He gets there to make the catch and that ends the inning. Some more of the colorful characters here at the ballpark tonight. Back with more here on a Tuesday night after this. Stepping up now Kyle Higashiyoka as we are all set to begin the third inning in this one. Kyle Higashiyoka. Here comes the first pitch. Off the plate ball one. The 1 0 home swing here on the fastball and this will get fouled off to the right side. 1 1. You got two balls one strike. Popped up prone in foul ground and no one will get this one and two now. You could pretty much book it that a fastball is coming a challenge fastball right here. He cannot allow the nine hole hitter to get on base with a pretty order room. Now the three and two picks is swung on in this strike three. Leading off the inning your job is to get on base and set the table for the inning. Now that that was a pretty good at bat and that he pushed the count to three and two and made the pitcher work. But I think he'd like to have that three to pitch back. Pretty sure that was ball four he went after. Here's Brett Gardner now as the first pitch to him is taken low and away for ball one 0 for one for him here in this one. And the 1 0 pitch a ball and a strike. One in my opinion one of the toughest pitches in the game to square up just a heavy sinker with good downward action reaches out for one and hits it on the ground a second. And there's out number two. The third base. Gio Burcella ready for another chance. Gio Burcella 0 for one here in the early going. First pitch coming here it is. Shocked he didn't let it fly right there. Usually you're looking for a fastball elevated to get the party started one and one two outs nobody on but a base runner here feels like it would really change the complexion of the inning big spot right here middle of the order guys coming up and see if he can extend the inning one and two now swung on and this ball is absolutely crushed. How about it out of here into the visitors bullpen. So a solo shot here to left center field home run number three here in the early going and it gives the Yankees a three to one lead big swing right there. Give himself a little bit of breathing room let his pitcher go to work. Now they're up to the plate. Now Torres as he will take a look at a fastball in there the strike zone expands just a little it's 0 and 1. There's a fastball well off the plate for a ball a fastball but he's able to hold off on it and it's 2 and 1 now. Looks like this guy's afraid to throw the ball in the strike zone gave up that home run earlier in the inning needs to get back to being aggressive. Fastball is looked at for strike two bases are empty here with two men out bouncing ball toward the hole high hop and he bare hands it. It's in time. Yankees do get one on the solo homer. We play two and a half. It's now three to one Yankees digging in now Harold Castro as we move on to the bottom of any number three. First offering on its way well executed fastball right at the knees going to be a long day for this offense if he stays in that spot and that's inside off the plate with the fastball. It's one and one pops him up drifting toward the left side of the infield. Torres has it and there's one away and with that we'll give you a quick look at our current standings in the AL East. One gone here in the Detroit third and that brings in Miguel Cabrera first pitch of the at bat on its way to wind up and the 0 1 not close with the off speed pitch taken for a ball inside with the slider and that'll back him up a bit. Hey after the double is first at that looks like he's trying to fix around this guy a little bit the center field as he's aboard with a one out single there's a lot of moving parts in some guys swings he usually takes them a month or so to get it ironed out. Here's Jonathan Scope now as the first pitch to him is off the plate for a ball one and oh over one after he took a look at strike three in his first plate appearance and he misses again two and oh I'd be real surprised if he goes back out away there on the mound. This is a count for a fastball challenge and we'll see if he's ready for it in the box. The two swing high drive left field and deep and that'll get over the wall so forget about sending the runner it'll be second and third down with only one away. Well I do wonder if that ball stays in the ballpark and they send him home there. It's really hard to say with the ball bouncing over the wall for a double that might have cost them a run there. Here's CJ Cron now as he'll take a look at a high strike that time it's nothing in one. He popped out in his first trip slider just about gets away from him there as it runs in a bit too close for comfort. Well giving up hits is one thing but judging by that last pitch he doesn't have any consistency with his release point right now. He doesn't know where it's going and he knows it. Little behind on that swing and now he'll try to shorten up maybe and protect the plate. Lucky he got a piece right there. He was definitely late on that pitch after seeing a previous off speed pitch. Hit well on the ground to ferns and he'll take it to the bag himself for the out riding into the box. Austin Romine he got on top of one and was a ground out victim last time to hang a zero. Here's the pitch fouled off on in one now tough spot to hit here as a hitter. You have a base open so you have to almost be trying to think like the pitcher is he going to try to pitch around me or is he going to come in the strike zone. But it doesn't matter. This is strike two anyway. Take a step back right here after three fastballs in a row there is no chance he throws you a fourth third inning here three to one our score shot to left field and deep look at this. Boom goes the dynamite three run blast is straight away left first home run of the campaign for him as they take the lead four to three. He won his last star but he didn't give up any long balls. He's already given up to here so he's got his work cut out for him. If he's going to get the W in this one he's going to have to start keeping the ball in the yard for starters up next steps Kristen Stewart pulled toward right center field gardeners after it he gets there to make the play and that ends the inning but not before three crossed the plate for the Tigers on the strength of this three run home run. We played three full. It's now for three Tigers start of the fourth upcoming but first Heidi Watney standing by with a report. Thanks Matt. I talked with Yankees manager Aaron Boone during the break about the team's offensive performance so far and flat out he was very pleased with the quality of their at bats. They've been able to push across three runs to this point but they've also made the opposition work extremely hard. He's thrown a lot of pitches and they think they're going to have a good opportunity to push across a lot more runs as he tires or as they get into that bullpen. All right thanks Heidi. Settling in now. He reached base on an error and later came around to score last time up. First delivery to him on the way pitcher wants to have a quick inning right here. Capitalized on the momentum as batters have 50th pitch of the game on its way. Bouncer to the left side throw to first in time one gone here in the fourth. Now batting Tyler Wayne looking to put the ball in play here. He went down on strikes in his first at bat. Here's the pitch grounder down the line at third this gets foul. It's 0 and 1 got him to go after that one. He's in a quick hold 0 and 2 runs coming fast and furious here for three our score as we play the fourth sent in the air out to straight away center center fielder giving chase. He gets there and that's the second out. So two are gone now in the Yankee half of the fourth and set to stand in the ultra dangerous Giancarlo Stanton first offering on its way lying down the left field line. But this is going to get foul fooled pretty badly there as he reaches to poke this one foul 0 and 2 count. Here's the pitch and a sliders in the dirt as he lays off it for a ball. Good pitch right there with the base is empty. Why not take a shot throw that breaking ball in the dirt and see if he'll chase after it. The 1 2 is looked at for ball number two. So you'd love for him to offer at that one but the execution was flawless nice curveball that starts in the zone and breaks just out just a great take by the batter fouled away another 2 2 offering and he's getting his money's worth up there now. It's full three and two three two counts are usually a time to challenge the hitter but I think he'll be careful here shoot for the corner and if you miss and you walk him so what that's better than him putting one in the seats out in front there as this one's pulled off to the left side three runs just two hits and no errors for the Yankees so far and it's fouled away looking to fade his first walk here it comes. Giancarlo slings and this ball has hit well into left field looking up is the left fielder at the track the wall. See you later over the wall a home run a solo home run here off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton his second home run of the game as that'll pull him even at four apiece. We're watching an impressive power display today with that one these two teams have now had to combine five homers in this game. Maddie V this is turning into home run Derby part to zero five bombs already in this one. Yeah there's a fight at the back right now both teams right here a lot of missed locations right out over to hard to play and either side is missing and that'll get down for what should be extra bases. Get the second base now with two gone as a hitter only feeling better than hitting a bomb is driving one into the death like that. He hustled out of the box knowing he was guaranteed a double but I think he had thoughts of maybe a triple if the outfielder hadn't gotten it back in right away. Yeah there really wasn't any question about that one going for extra bases off the back now Mike Ford as he lays off a fastball too low for ball one he's over one thus far one and oh here it is two out here in a runner at second lifted the other way out to left center out out there for extra bases as he arrives at second without a play as they jump ahead with a run scoring on the play and I can't blame the pitching coach for making that walk that's three consecutive two out hits here so he's going to remind this guy that they just need to make one good pitch and get this inning over with. Let's see if the talk does any good into the box now Kyle Higashiyoko as he will look at a first pitch fastball for ball one runner in scoring position with two gone the one oh and that's right there and we're even at one couple of righties starting to loosen now in the bullpen runner in scoring position at second with two down one and two to the Yankees catcher he's looking pretty passive here hitting with a chance to drive in a run going to have to make something happen with two strikes now here's the one two a bouncer to the left side and he can't pick it up cleanly. He'll take a look at the strike right down the middle it's oh and one according to the career numbers on the back of his baseball card Gartner is slugging just little over 400 not a huge threat but he can certainly square one up on occasion ready with the oh and one boy the curveball just hasn't been there this afternoon and this is this guy's bread and butter pitch especially when he gets ahead of hitters he needs to find that curveball again two balls in a strike down to the Yankees leadoff man a time to start making some quality pitches he finds himself in a tough spot behind an account with guys on base he fouls this one off back with a fastball strike three calls and the inning is over so it's two runs on four base hits no errors and a couple of men left on to the bottom of any number four we go the Yankees are out in front five to four just about set to go for the last of the fourth but before we do that here's Heidi Watney thanks Matt I talked with Tigers manager Ron garden higher during the break about the team's offensive performance so far and he was very pleased with how little they're swinging and missing right now looking at the advanced data our researchers found that about nine of ten swings are resulting in some sort of contact today which is well above major league average the result has been a lot of balls in play a lot of hits and solid run production guys OK thank you Heidi digging in for a second at that Nico Goodrum one for one after a single this first time up swinging a ball line down in the left field corner but this will be foul well it's been a rough one so far for runs through three innings it's about time to get that pitch count down or he won't be out here very long the 0 1 this has hit high in the air out toward left center left fielder is on the move he gets there to make the play for the first out of the inning so the bases are empty with one man gone and into bad next it'll be Jamer Candelario he's ready here's the first offering this is skied into the air to straight away center after it is Gardner he gets there and that's the second out now batter the plate Cameron Maybin 0 4 2 for him to this point here comes the first pitch four runs seven hits one error for the Tigers does far to an oh in the dirt it's 3 and 0 now yeah he's all over the place right now no doubt he's clearly fighting his mechanics now the slider gets the call in the bottom part of the zone now that's a really curious pitch selection 3 0 and turn to the slider you have to wonder if maybe he's lost the field for his fastball rip down the first base line but a foul ball and it's full now at 3 and 2 a off pitch home pulled high in the air out to left field and he'll get there in plenty of time to put this one away and that ends the inning down in order go the Tigers and the deficit holds at five to four another shot now Giorg Shella he's in to get things going here in inning number five delivery to him on the way well he's still out there to start the fifth inning but it's been a real grind of a start for him the pitch count is much higher than he'd like it to be so it's hard to imagine him working really deep into this game down the left field line and deep and this will not be caught it's a foul ball he's ready here's the O2 pitch a shot down the first baseline and he'll take it to the bag himself for the out so one away here with the bases empty and that will bring up Glaver Torres first pitch on his way and a high strike there 0 and 1 it might be time for this guy to start mixing his pitches up a little bit better he's pitching poorly but you look at his first pitch strike percentage at over 70% this betting this team betting has a pretty good idea what his game plan is and quickly there are two away now with the plate look void 0 for 2 on his line thus far first offering on its way to wind up and the 1 0 pitch this should end the inning as it sent out to second taken in by scope throwing the dirt but a good scoop at first saves an error as this side is retired we are in Motown but I don't think we'll be seeing any of these people dancing in a sole review tonight don't go anywhere more Tuesday night baseball after this bottom of the inning now digging in to try it again Pearl Castro 1 for 2 in the ballgame thus far first pitch on its way not close with the off speed pitch taken for a ball pops it up for Shella in foul ground but this will land untouched 2 and 2 2 balls 2 strikes a crucial count for both pitcher and hitter so Dan what was your approach on the mound in that county is still pitch for the strikeout here action pitch right here 2 2 the last thing you want to do is to fall behind the count 3 2 so he chased out of the strike zone on that one Harold Castro is retired for the first out in the bottom half of the fifth and that'll bring up the veteran Miguel Cabrera he doubled earlier and carries a 2 for 2 line into this appearance ready to deliver here's the first pitch the 1 0 misses for the second ball what thickens here 3 and 0 Jonathan scope will be next one out nobody on thought that was ball 4 but it's called a strike 3 and 1 now 3 balls and 2 strikes to the Tigers designated hitter when you get yourself to a 3 1 count and you get a fastball those are the ones you really want to punish couldn't get the bat on it so we'll see if that comes back to Haunted payoff pitch home down the third baseline but this will get foul so they'll do it again 3 and 2 making him sweat out there the seventh pitch coming up and he looks at one that misses and that's an excellent job of making his man throw a lot of pitches as he toughs out a wall well he gives up the walk that was a really good pitch might have been just out of the zone but not by much a lot of guys would have gone fishing for that pit so sometimes the hitter just outlast Joe and next it'll be the Tigers clean up hitter Jonathan scope one for two with a double on his line thus far he's ready here's the 01 and that misses one and one runners on first with one down here's the fastball that gets the lower part of the zone called for a strike one of the best ways to keep a guy uncomfortable is to pound him inside they're doing that and this one caught the zone and you can tell he wanted to hold off but he swings through the inside pitch anyway and he becomes out number two. Well it's been a rough series for him at the plate so far that's four strikeouts in the first two games. So this pitching staff clearly has him figured out at the plate C.J. Chrome says take a look at ball one he's 0 for two in the ballgame so far on our home and you want to talk about being in the zone this guy's been raking lately and it all starts with his pit selection two great takes and he's almost daring to pitch and just go ahead and challenge him three and oh now don't make your manager be the bad guy in this situation. I know you struggled a little bit right here. You got to find a way to get through this fifth inning and qualify for that win three oh pitch he has taken strike one runner on first with two away and that misses ball four so it's first and second now with two out. Oh man I think this walk is going to grind in him for a bit he just missed and now the inning continues with the man in scoring position and to pick things up where he left off Austin Romain and we'll see what he can do here with a pair of runners on base and two gone here in the fifth and that last at that when he went deep he turned around a pretty good fastball so I'm kind of thinking this guy's a good fastball hitter. So I might want to move that ball up and down and in and out and try not to throw it right down the middle of the plate lifted in the air out towards left center and the two out threat will not come to pass as the ending is over a couple of walks but no damage back with more here on a Tuesday night after this but it takes over to start the sixth inning on the mound number forty three. Tyler Wayne he's over to the strikeout in this one he's ready. Here's the first offering pulls this one into the air out into right field may been on the run. He gets there to make the play for the first out of the inning. Now batting right fielder Giancarlo Stanton will stand in looking for home run number three as we take it back to ending number four. And this was his second home run of the game as he's been dialed in so far in this one first delivery to him on the way curveball and that misses in the dirt for ball one the one oh home talk about certain guys in a lineup that you want to be really careful with this guy right here is one of those and you can tell he's pitching awfully cautiously bases are empty one man out there's a swing and a high deep drive headed for the right field corner and it'll fade just at the end and winds up a long foul ball three we all know this guy is a great hitter in a three one count this is just what he's looking for he loves to hit when the counts in his favor like this lofted in the air out toward right center may been is there it's the play and there aren't two gone now now batter the second base two away now in the Yankee sixth and that will bring up DJ LeMayhew first offering on its way and a curveball in for a strike that's a tough curveball right there to stay into as a lefty hitter that ball looks like it's almost going to hit you and it breaks over the inside half of the plate the oh one is a fastball low and that evens the count at one and one two out nobody on ball taken inside for a ball two and one now even though this guy's a righty hitter he's going to get pounded with that two seamer he needs to make sure he catches this thing out front if he sees that bitch again and it's two balls and two strikes now lifted in the air out towards left center center fielder giving chase these slides and makes the catch a beautiful play to end the inning fine sliding catch here will take us to break don't go anywhere more Tuesday night baseball after this Kristen Stewart will stand in here hoping to duplicate what he did back in the second inning as we flash you back to take another look at his solo home run that helped get this offense rolling he's ready here's the first offering pulled high in the air out to right field Stanton on the run he makes the catch a great effort to get there and record the first out of the inning next for the Tigers Nico Goodrum it was a fly out for him in his last trip ready with the first pitch here it comes and he starts the number eight hitter with a strike nothing in one and some action out in the Yankee bullpen now as a right hander starts to loosen up on his short for his scoops it up and a bit of a high throw that time but no problem over there at first as they record the out now batting third baseman Strading in Jimer Candelario he flew out in his last ad bat first delivery to him on the way not close with that when it's way above the strike zone bases are empty here with two men out here's a strike with the breaking ball and with just five and two-thirds innings under his belt he's about to hit the century mark in his pitch count now yeah Matty V and the way baseball is played these days it's about six innings or a hundred heaps and you're pretty much looking for that bullpen and D-roll right now this guy's pretty vulnerable right now at this game Dan you were a monster down that bullpen that's what it seems to be in today's game there's five or six of you guys hanging out down there so he's going to empty the bucket right here until the manager gets him a swing and a miss on a ball way outside the strike zone and the inning is over three up three down for Detroit still down to run it's five to four standing in Mike Ford hoping to build off that RBI double from his last play to parents yeah he did a great job to go down and get that one his last at bat but I got to think they're going to pitch him up maybe elevate something in the zone interested to see how he approaches this next day big first pitch of the inning is taken low and away for a ball it's one and all some action now when the Tigers bullpen as they'll get a left hander and a right hander up to throw the one oh look like he was cheating a heater right there a little bit too far out in front got to find a way to keep his hands back here he comes on a ball in two strikes good swing on a tough pitch and he'll stick around to see another one don't be shocked if this pitcher tries to go a little bit further outside the zone three foul balls in a row he wants to get a swing and a miss on this next pitch fast ball but that's easy to lay off and it's back to even a two and two tough to take a pitch like that right there especially in a one to count you almost getting that auto swing mode great job to work to count back to even swung on and missed really fooled him that time for the first out nice to see him fast ball there you don't usually see a lot of swings and misses with that pitch unless it's really moving so that one must have had some real good late life at the plate now Kyle Higashiyoka as the first pitch to him runs a bit inside for Bowl one a hidden two at bats for him at this point in the ballgame swing in a soft liner and a step on first for the out three unassisted so the batting order turns over now and set to go Brett Gardner he's hit listen three at bats to this point first pitch of the at bat on its way the wind up and the 1 0 pitch drilled the first he has some trouble with it and he'll step on the bag himself and the inning is over 1 2 3 go to bomber they hold on to a 5 4 lead Chad Green gets the ball from the pen to take over on the mound and start the home seventh number fifty seven Chad remember maybe now you could really use it not here over three in the game so far this things far from over even though we're moving into the back into this game only down by one all they need to do is get this lead off guy and they're an extra base hit away from tying this thing up the 0 1 pitch this at bat is quickly moving from bad to worse it's 0 and 2 now and I really don't know how you swing at that you must have had his mind up he was going to swing as soon as the ball came out of the pitchers and interesting sequence of pitches right there a real ugly swing on a ball away and it looks like the better has a much better idea of what he's looking for after that second pitch the one to swung on and missed he got him on strikes well we'll see a lot of these power arms coming out of the bullpen in these days but it doesn't make it any less impressive to me I love watching guys come in and blow smoke right by guys to the plate now Harold Castro as he looks at a fastball that's in there for strike one he's working on a one for three thus far here strike two as the slider of the outside corner your idea of working account goes out the window you're frustrated right now down 0 2 got to find the way to grind this is hit softly to third and there are two away now so two outs now here in the Detroit half of the seventh and that brings in Miguel Cabrera first pitch of the eighth inning lifted in the air toward the line and right and foul two out nobody on a ball in a strike to Miguel Cabrera and that's on the outside corner one and two one pitch away from wrapping up a very good innings work out of the bullpen here the one two in time but to no avail as he went around and the inning is over nothing across here this half of the inning we'll look at it now the Yankees lead it five to four your shell as they look for some added insurance before the bottom half of the inning first pitch of the at bat on its way and it's the outside corner it strike one ball one wanted to get the front door curveball on the inside corner there but it backed up a little and stayed off the corner one one line to the right side and that falls in for a solid base head his second of the night with that the Yankees have put their lead off hitter aboard to start out the inning. Hey pitchers you better start taking notice of this guy he better be circled on that lineup. He's on fire. That's his second hit of the ballgame right there. I don't see him stop. That's Taurus. This is it high and deep out to left gone into the home bullpen for a home run. It's a two run shot to straight away left home run number three here in the early going and it's now seven to four. That's Dinger number six on the day between these two lineups. I feel like I'm watching home run Derby here guys. Yeah man he being hey you don't see this very often Dero a lot of runs scored and a lot of home runs. This is a big ballpark here for America ballpark in Detroit. Yeah Dan it's interesting you walk in and at first glance Comerica Park doesn't look like it plays that small. But then you do the advanced stats on it. A lot of guys going deep in this yard. And here's a fastball inside as the count moves to 2 and 0 now. Hey the bullpen needs to step up in this situation. I got to believe the manager was hoping for way more than this. Base is empty here with nobody out. Little tardy on that swing as it's well wide at first the two one is taken for strike two swing and a miss as he ran the fastball right by him for the first time. That swing tells me he was really trying to get a pitch out front and rip it down the line. But that wasn't a great pitch to do it on. It's really not the best two strike approach either. The box now Tyler Wayne fastball here is he'll take a look at ball one one and all. It was a fly out for him in his last trip lifted out towards straight away center field Castro is back and he'll get there to make the play for route number two. Now that right fielder John Carlo stepping into the box John Carlo Stanton it was a fly out for him in his last trip. Almost Maddie almost went deep his last day be certainly just missed it with this guy's big power. He's feeling pretty good at the dish. Look for him to try and get on something and drive it out of the yard this day be two balls and no strikes the count is Stanton the two on the way too high and it's three and oh now with the bases empty I think he needs to be careful not to just groove one here just because it's three and oh he's a guy that could ambush you and lose one over the wall. Here's the pitch that one's in there three and one hitters count all the way here it comes line drive to left Stewart is going to have room out there as he puts this away to retire the side Yankees get a couple on the two run homerun on now to the bottom of any number eight. It's the Yankees seven and the Tigers four Adam on a vino is on to pitch out of the bullpen in the bottom half of the eight stepping up to the plate. Jonathan scope. He looked to bounce back after striking out his last time up. He's ready. Here's the first offering and a ball one and oh now action in the bullpen as their closer starts to get loose out there 1 0 count. Here it is slider but that's below the knees and it's 2 and 0. Well this is spot you'd like to be in 2 0. Good hitter is going to turn it loose right here behind on the swing that time and it's 2 and 1 pitch on the way popped him up void moving to his left. He's got it one away now that well this has been a bullpen game for some time now but let's go back and review the performances of the two starters neither of whom turned in and outing to remember now in the box C.J. Chrome first delivery to him on the way now a fastball a bit too low here it's ball one gotta find a way to scratch at least one across you do not want to take on the monster closing the game down 3 1 0 pitch well hit but right into the teeth of the shift and very quickly there they're too gone to start the inning now that in now Austin Roman it was a flyout for him in his last trip first delivery to him on the way and that misses inside one and oh bases are empty here with two men out in there one and one this ball runs away for ball to two and one big sweeping breaking ball right there a good pitch but if he wants to get him to swing at it you'll have to bring it in a little bit closer to the strike zone now the two one is swung on and missed for strike number two swing and he pops him up the ball and then the second one LeMayhew calls for it and the ending is over down in order go the Tigers they're on the short end of a seven four score digging in DJ LeMayhew he'll start things off in the top of the ninth as they look for a little insurance here's the first pitch to him ninth inning underway now is the first pitch is taken for a cold strike sent on the left throw on the first for the out and that is how the ninth inning gets underway into the box Mike Ford he struck out swinging in his last trip to the plate yeah and kind of shocked he got blown away with a fastball you could tell he was late on that one and we'll see if he tries to cheat to something this a big on the ground to the left side he's on the left throw on the first takes care of him and the top of the ninth is proving unfruitful thus far too quick outs here well executed to see him on the outside corner that time and that's what you'll get a lot of with that pitch he rolled right over at the plate Kyle Higashiyoka he was retired via the ground ball last time up here comes the first pitch now the one oh fouled off two out nobody on swing and a liner is retired so the Yankees go one two three they hold a seven to four lead Tommy Keenley comes out of the bullpen to shut things down here in the ninth all set for the bottom of the ninth at the plate Kristen Stewart it was a fly out for him in his last trip a not an easy thing to do to try to come back and tie a game or take the lead off of a guy like this one of the games elite closers ball one to start the at bat the one oh is offered at a missed for the first strike everything this guy throws is hard that change if he throws is in the high eighties to go along with that good heater now a good pitch around the knees but it doesn't quite catch the bottom of the zone the two one is strike two swinging popped him up Torres is there and that's not the start to the bottom of the ninth this crowd was hoping for one away digging in the switch hitter Nico Goodrum he's got a hit in three at bats to this point he comes set here's the nothing and nothing pitch first pitch here is softly hit down the line to third and that is down as that could be two bases and he'll reach second now with one away man that swing look like self-defense than a real ball he swing but a muscle it out there and it was enough to get him safely the second those are the kind of hits that would drive you nuts as a pitcher runner at second one away and into bad next it'll be Jamer Candelario from the stretch a fastball off the plate away it's ball one you know in this situation you almost have to pitch like there's no one on base that run really doesn't mean anything with the lead they've got the hitter is the guy that can turn this game on its head on all home under its second here with one man out and this is taken for a cold strike and he's not in love with that call either it's one and two now and a good take there close but it's two and two little chopper back to the mound throw on the first he'll be in time and now the Tigers are down to their final out but that's the way to strike in forward now Cameron may have been although there are a couple of bases open and we'll see if they think about working around the block behind the plate and no advance it's ball one the 1 0 home he's looked at for the first strike and it's two and one to the Tigers lead off hitter sometimes it can be difficult for a pitcher you're facing a guy that's not known to be a big stick in the lineup sometime the toughest thing is to be aggressive and throw strikes hard liner towards short and that's through and a left to base hit not one in the score column as the runner from third crosses the plane yeah one a day keeps the doctor away Dan especially and when it's a big one late in the game it doesn't matter at all you're just trying to get one knock a day find a couple of barrels he happened to catch his late boy I tell you what he's talking about coming at a good time to you haven't kind of a rough night last a B you end up being able to do something positive not only for yourself but also helping a team out to a oldest Chapman takes over on the mound now as he'll try to get the final out of the ball game here and pick up a save so striding in Harold Castro he represents the potential time run if he can launch one or find a way around the bases yeah man I kind of doubt he's thinking about going yard even though that would be the best result they could hope for he's not a long ball threat and he knows it so he could just be looking for some way to keep that line moving first pitch of the at bat tried to golf at it but he missed strike one two run game last of the night with two away and this will be a called strike two and trouble now as they're down to their final strike tonight now a throw over to first and he'll be back in standing up last breath for the Tigers fouled away drill down the line it takes a nasty hop and he's unable to haul it in has him down to their final strike here it comes and he strikes him out to end it here as they were able to get the possible tying run to the plate but could not cash in hey it's hard to win games at any point but the win games on the road especially in this ballpark so they are very happy with this win seven five tonight's final the New York Yankees get the win on the heels of four home runs Jay Hap with his fourth win this season so that just about does it for Mark Derosa Dan please act Heidi Watney and our entire crew I'm Matt Vaskers and you've been watching
