Game 90 - New York Yankees at Detroit Tigers

April 20 at Comerica Park in Detroit, MI
Fox Sports Detroit

The full list of ways to give me Baseball Nightmares:

1. Show me Kenny Rogers' pitching performance from game four of the 1996 World Series
2. Tell me David Ortiz is coming to the plate in the new Yankee Stadium
3. Mention the name Luis Gonzalez
4. Tell me the late innings in Detroit are about to begin

Nightmare No. 4 will come in to play later tonight because on Monday, and has been the case many times before in Detroit, things didn't go well for New York.

C.C. Sabathia had a 1-0 shut out through 6 2/3 innings until the Tigers did Tigers things to New York, getting singles from J.D. Martinez and Yoenis Cespedes in the seventh to score their only runs in a 2-1 victory. Sabathia picked up his first complete game since July 9, 2013 against Kansas City.

Mark Teixeira led off the second with a home run against Alfredo Simon, but that was it against the right-hander, whose joined David Price and Shane Greene to form a trio of starters that have a combined 0.81 ERA in nine starts.

"After an 0-for-3, two-strikeout night, 38-year old Carlos Beltran has a .171/.222/.268 slash line! Good thing he's signed for next year, too!"
