The lead
June 22, 2026 - Detroit - Riley Greene homered, Framber Valdez earned the win, and the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees 5-3 at Comerica Park, per the Associated Press recap on CBS Sports.
How the game turned
Greene's homer helped Detroit build a lead Valdez protected into the late innings. New York scored three times but could not complete a comeback.
Pitching and matchup notes
Valdez worked into the middle innings and gave the bullpen a lead to protect. The Tigers' staff held a Yankees lineup that had been cooled by Cincinnati over the weekend.
Bats that changed the board
