The New York Yankees faced a surprising defeat against the Detroit Tigers, losing 6-2 despite leading MLB in runs and home runs. Tigers' starting pitcher Casey Mize showcased his ace potential, allowing just one run over six innings, complemented by six strikeouts. The Yankees' offense struggled, particularly their lower batting order, which went a dismal 2-for-20.

On the mound, Carlos Rodón took the loss, giving up six runs with a costly three-run homer to Andy Ibáñez. Manager Aaron Boone defended Rodón, citing a missed call that contributed to the inning's collapse. With the Yankees now reeling from back-to-back losses, they must rebound quickly, facing Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal next.
