Yankees’ Losing Streak Hits Three as Tigers Win Finale 6-3 By Erik Matuszewski May 5 (Bloomberg) -- The New York Yankees were beaten 6-3 by the Detroit Tigers for their first three-game losing streak of the Major League Baseball season. The Tigers scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to snap a 2-2 tie at Comerica Park in Detroit. Brandon Inge hit a sacrifice fly off losing pitcher A.J. Burnett to give Detroit the lead and the Tigers scored two more runs on a throwing error by shortstop Eduardo Nunez, who started in place of Derek Jeter. Brennan Boesch drove in the other three runs for the Tigers, who won the final three games of the four-game series. Before its winning streak, Detroit (15-17) had lost seven consecutive games. The Yankees (17-12) had one previous losing streak this season, dropping two in a row against the Chicago White Sox last month. Nunez and Eric Chavez each drove in a run for New York, which has scored four runs over the last three games. Chavez, who started at third base in place of Alex Rodriguez, left with a leg injury in the fourth inning after hitting his first triple since 2007. Rodriguez scored the Yankees’ final run on a ninth-inning single by Brett Gardner. Nunez was playing in place of Jeter, who left last night’s loss to Detroit because of a sore right hip. The Yankees head to Texas and open a three-game series against the defending American League-champion Rangers tomorrow. Detroit next plays a four-game series in Toronto.
