The two-time defending AL Cy Young Award winner struck out nine and walked none after allowing four runs to the Yankees last week in Detroit.<\/p>\n<p>Skubal threw 61 of 87 pitches for strikes and retired 12 straight after Rice\u2019s homer in the first.<\/p>\n<p>Greene hit a solo shot during a four-run first inning off Schlittler (8-5) and added a two-run drive in the third for a 6-1 lead.

The hard-throwing right-hander had his ERA climb from 1.62 to 2.08.<\/p>\n<p>Schlittler allowed four homers after allowing six homers in his first 17 starts. He had never allowed more than two in any start and became the first Yankees pitcher to allow four homers to the Tigers since Chuck Cary in 1989 at Tiger Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Detroit&#8217;s James Outman hit a three-run homer in the sixth off Ryan Yarbrough after second baseman Jos\u00e9 Caballero committed a throwing error on a force play.<\/p>\n<p>New York has managed just 16 hits in its last five games.<\/p>\n<p>Detroit RHP Troy Melton (4-1, 2.39 ERA) opposes New York RHP Will Warren (7-3, 3.75) in the series finale on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Tarik Skubal pitched six innings of one-hit ball and Riley Greene hit two of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":739964,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2386],"tags":[5,731,20455,91950,147,53,2583,4571,1965,391,4,9500,9501,9496,9497,9498,22857,22858,22859,624,4581,5055,314,382,594,91949,33608,772],"class_list":["post-739963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-detroit-tigers","tag-baseball","tag-ben-rice","tag-cam-schlittler","tag-chuck-cary","tag-detroit","tag-detroit-tigers","tag-detroittigers","tag-james-outman","tag-jose-caballero","tag-kerry-carpenter","tag-mlb","tag-package-100024-ap-online","tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","tag-product-32562-ap-online-other-sports-news","tag-product-40792-ap-michigan-sports-only","tag-product-40800-ap-new-jersey-sports-only","tag-product-40802-ap-new-york-city-sports-only","tag-product-40803-ap-new-york-state-sports-only","tag-riley-greene","tag-ryan-yarbrough","tag-spencer-jones","tag-spencer-torkelson","tag-tarik-skubal","tag-tigers","tag-tigers-yankees-score","tag-troy-melton","tag-will-warren"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=739963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739963\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/739964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=739963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=739963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=739963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
