The Bombers move above .500 for the first time all season with back to back wins against the Tigers on Tuesday night (5-2) and Wednesday night (13-4).
Nathan Eovaldi (1-0, 3.12) picked up his first win in pinstripes with a well pitched 7 inning, one run outing on Tuesday.. Chris Young kept up his hot hitting for the season with 3 hits (single, double, homer) and 2 walks. Stephen Drew also added his fourth of the season.
Young added three more hits on Wednesday night as the Yanks jumped all over Tiger starter David Price, scoring 6 runs in the top of the first to set the pace for the game. Adam Warren did his damnedest to try to give it all back when he surrendered 4 in the bottom of the first, but then he settled in and shut Detroit down over the next 4.2 innings before being pulled at 101 pitches. Wilson, Carpenter and Shreve shut down the Tigers with another 3.1 IP of scoreless pitching out of the pen.
Yankees close out the Detroit series this afternoon with Tanaka on the mound. The Yanks then head home for a weekend series with the best team in baseball (WTF???), the New York Mets.
