Yankees Struggle in 6-2 Loss to Tigers in Detroit

In a chilly game against the Tigers, the Yankees lost 6-2, with Carlos Rodón struggling after a solid start on the mound. The temperature at first pitch was 38 degrees, and Rodón was visibly frustrated after walking two batters in the third inning, leading to a three-run homer by Andy Ibáñez that marked a turning point in the game. Despite striking out eight batters, Rodón allowed six runs (five earned) in six innings, with his performance hampered by walks and an error from Oswaldo Cabrera. The Yankees managed to score only once, with Aaron Judge getting an RBI single in the fifth inning, but the team failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Casey Mize held the Yankees to just one run over six innings, contributing to their offensive struggles. The loss marked a disappointing start to the series, with manager Aaron Boone expressing his frustration with the umpire's strike zone during the game.
