Jordan Zimmermann (7-11) allowed seven runs for a third straight start. New York broke the game open with five runs off him in the third.

Ian Kinsler and Jose Iglesias went deep for Detroit's only runs. The Tigers have lost eight of nine.

Ronald Torreyes tied a career high with four hits for the Yankees.
