NEW YORK (AP) — Juan Soto hit a three-run double that snapped a seventh-inning tie and the New York Yankees beat the Detroit Tigers 5-2 on Sunday to finish a weekend sweep with a rain-shortened win. Aaron Judge homered early for the Yankees off Tarik Skubal, who struck out a career-best 12 in six innings. The game was called following a 56-minute delay in the middle of the eighth after the teams played through steady showers much of the day. Completing a 17-day stretch without a break in the schedule, the Yankees (23-13) improved to a season-high 10 games over .500. “Wins are precious in this league,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “It’s really good to shake hands three times into an off day. It does a lot for the soul.” New York loaded the bases against reliever Shelby Miller (3-4) in the seventh before Soto lined Andrew Chafin’s sinker down the right-field line to break a 2-all tie. |
