The New York Yankees beat the Detroit Tigers, 7-3, at Comerica Tigers Park. Graig Nettles, in particular, was impressive. He was 4-4 with 2 home runs and 2 singles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3. Sparky Lyle collected his 2nd save. The 4th-place Tigers have lost 4 straight games.

With New York leading 1-0 in the top of the second, Nettles came up to bat against Detroit pitcher Justin Verlander. Nettles hit a fastball to right-center for a 2-run home run. His 15th home run of the season put the Yankees on top, 3-0.

"We'd like to put some distance between ourselves and the rest of the division," said Nettles.
