Game 161 - Detroit Tigers at New York Yankees

June 20 at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, NY
YES Network

This was perhaps the Yankees' finest game of the season, a 14-3 romp that included five home runs.

Two of those home runs came from Carlos Beltran and Alex Rodriguez, fresh off reaching the 3,000-hit mark on Friday with a first-inning home run, collected hit No. 3,001 also with the long ball. It was a three-run shot in the third off German punk band Ian Krol that made it 8-0.

* Josh Wilson, normally an infielder, gave up the final long ball, to Chris Young leading off the eighth. It was that kind of evening for the Tigers, who lost their fourth straight.

* Pitching on three days rest (though after just throwing just 36 pitches in 2/3 of a horrifying inning in Miami), Nathan Eovaldi was sharp. The right-hander allowed just three hits in six innings and the two earned runs he was charged with scored after he had departed.
