Yankees fall to Tigers, extending losing streak to seven games
The Detroit Tigers defeated the New York Yankees 6-2 in the series finale on Wednesday, handing the Yankees their seventh consecutive loss and a second straight series defeat. The Tigers' pitching helped contain a Yankees lineup that has struggled to generate offense, averaging just 2.5 runs over the past 12 games.
Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger openly described his slump, saying "It f**king sucks. It's a sh**ty feeling," after going 0-for-5 in the game and recording only three hits in his last ten. The team is also coping with the ongoing absence of captain Aaron Judge, who remains on the injured list due to a rib issue, with no update on his return timeline.
