NEW YORK – It was a painful night for the Yankees on Monday at Yankee Stadium.
New York lost to the Tigers, 7-3, its fifth straight defeat and eighth in its past 10 games. Worse, the Yankees lost second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., who was nearly knocked out after colliding with right fielder Jasson Domínguez in the fourth inning.
With one out, a runner on third and Detroit leading by seven runs, Hao-Yu Lee hit a fly ball to shallow right field. Both Chisholm and Domínguez went after the ball, and Domínguez made the catch but appeared to strike Chisholm in the face with his left arm.
Chisholm went down and lay on the ground for several minutes before he was taken out of the game and replaced by Oswaldo Cabrera. Chisholm was going through concussion protocol, the Yankees announced.
New York continued to struggle offensively, recording three hits or fewer for the fourth straight game. Tigers right-hander Casey Mize struck out 10 and limited the Yankees to just one hit in seven innings, and that came in the third inning when Spencer Jones doubled to right field. Mize was out of the game when Amed Rosario hit a pinch-hit three-run homer off left-hander Drew Sommers in the eighth inning.
Pitching? Yankees left-hander Ryan Weathers lasted 1 2/3 innings and allowed five runs, though only two were earned. In fact, the Yankees made two errors in the game.
