The Detroit Tigers Look to Take Down the New York Yankees

The Detroit Tigers have had an up and down year, but if they can keep beating the New York Yankees things will get better.

Freddy Garcia has picked up his most victories against any opponent when facing Detroit. That’s not good news for a Tigers team that hasn’t been doing too much winning. Garcia, who owns a 1.59 ERA in three starts with the New York Yankees, looks for his 19th win over the Tigers in the third game of this four-game series at Comerica Park on Wednesday night.

AL East-leading New York (17-10) and Detroit (13-17) have split the first two meetings, with the Tigers beating CC Sabathia 4-2 on Tuesday night to end a seven-game losing streak. The Tigers will now attempt to beat Garcia, who is 18-7 with a 3.84 ERA in 31 starts against Detroit and didn’t allow a run in his first two starts this season.

Garcia (1-1, 2.00) suffered a loss in his last outing, giving up three runs over five innings in falling 5-3 to Toronto on Friday. The right-hander, 8-4 with a 3.72 ERA in 15 outings at Comerica Park, has had trouble with Miguel Cabrera. The Tigers first baseman is 8 for 20 with three home runs, while outfielder Brennan Boesch is 4 for 12 with a homer against Garcia. Cabrera is 9 for 17 with two homers, five walks and six RBIs over his last five games.

Garcia has handled Victor Martinez well, holding him to six hits in 27 at-bats (.222). Martinez is expected to play Wednesday for the first time since going on the disabled list April 19 because of a strained right groin.

Max Scherzer (4-0, 3.82) is looking to beat the Yankees for the second time this season despite not pitching well in the first meeting. The right-hander allowed six runs and nine hits - four homers - over five innings of a 10-7 victory in New York on April 3. The Tigers keep hitting and beat the Yankees.
