Grossman’s HR in 10th gives Tigers 3-2 win over Yankees

<p>DETROIT &mdash; Robbie Grossman hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Detroit Tigers a 3-2 victory over the New York Yankees on Friday night.</p>
<p>The Yankees took the lead in the top of the inning when automatic runner Aaron Judge came home from third on a passed ball. Justin Wilson (1-1) retired the first two Detroit batters in the bottom half, but on a full count, Grossman sent a high drive that cleared the fence in left field.</p>
<p>Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman returned from a non-coronavirus illness and pitched a scoreless ninth, but manager Aaron Boone opted against using the left-hander for a second inning.</p>
<p>Rougned Odor homered and had four hits for the Yankees, who dropped a bizarre game that also included a three-ball walk for New York hitter Gio Urshela.</p>
<p>Bryan Garcia (1-1) won in relief for Detroit.</p>
<p>Each starting pitcher — Gerrit Cole for New York and Casey Mize for Detroit — was a former No. 1 overall draft pick. Mize, the top pick in the 2018 draft, allowed a run and five hits in five innings. He struck out seven with no walks.</p>
<p>Cole was picked first overall by Pittsburgh in 2011. He’s allowed two or fewer earned runs in 10 of 11 starts this season. He allowed a run and six hits in six innings Friday.</p>
<p>Detroit took a 1-0 lead in the third on Jeimer Candelario’s RBI single. Odor tied it when he led off the fifth with a homer.</p>
<p>The Yankees put two men on later in that inning, but Mize struck out DJ LeMahieu and Giancarlo Stanton to end the threat — the third time he’d struck out each of those two hitters at the top of the New York lineup.</p>
<p>Stanton struck out four times in all, going hitless in his first game back from the injured list. He’d been out because of a strained left quadriceps.</p>
<p>Candelario reached base for a 24th straight game.</p>
<p>THREE AND FLEE</p>
<p>rshela was the beneficiary of an apparent mix-up over the count in the sixth, drawing a walk after only three balls. After he fouled off several 2-2 pitches, the next offering from Kyle Funkhouser was way outside and went to the backstop. Urshela tossed his bat aside and headed to first. Nobody from the Tigers appeared to argue.</p>
<p>The Yankees did not end up scoring in the inning. Vic Carapazza was the plate umpire.</p>
<p>TRAINER’S ROOM</p>
<p>Yankees: Stanton played for the first time since May 13.</p>
<p>Tigers: Manager A.J. Hinch said he wants to be conservative with RHP José Ureña (forearm) — particularly with a couple games coming up in Milwaukee, where the pitcher would have to bat.</p>
<p>UP NEXT</p>
<p>The Tigers send RHP Spencer Turnbull (3-2) to the mound against RHP Deivi García (0-1) of the Yankees on Saturday.</p>
