Tigers extend win streak to five, shut out Yankees 5-0

The Detroit Tigers extended their winning streak to five games with a commanding 5-0 victory over the New York Yankees, marking New York's first shutout loss of the season. Tarik Skubal, the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner, pitched six scoreless innings, striking out six and allowing only four hits. Spencer Torkelson, Zach McKinstry, and Dillon Dingler contributed to the offense with home runs in a dominant fourth inning against Yankees pitcher Carlos Carrasco. The Yankees have now lost three consecutive games, struggling offensively with only two runs scored in the last two games of the series. The Tigers' performance was further bolstered by the return of outfielder Brewer Hicklen and catcher Tomas Nido from the minors as they managed injuries to key players. The game took just over two hours to complete, played in frigid temperatures.
