In a dominant performance, Gerrit Cole led the New York Yankees to a 3-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers, striking out eight and allowing just four hits over six scoreless innings. This win marks Cole's third consecutive strong outing, with only three runs allowed in his last 17 innings. Aaron Judge, who hit his 44th home run of the season, further cemented his status as a leading MVP contender. Oswald Peraza also made a splash in his first game of the season by hitting a home run, contributing to the Yankees' offensive effort. The Yankees improved to 73-50, maintaining their position atop the AL East alongside the Baltimore Orioles. The Tigers made notable debuts with their top prospects, Jace Jung and Trey Sweeney, but struggled against Cole's pitching throughout the game.
