Mandatory Credit: David Reginek-USA TODAY Sports Andy Ibanez had a two-run double and a trio of Detroit pitchers held the New York Yankees to four hits in the Tigers' 4-0 victory on Saturday afternoon.
Detroit starter Keider Montero (4-5) limited the Yankees to two hits while striking out five in five-plus innings. Tyler Holton gave up one hit in three innings. Jason Foley completed the shutout.
Spencer Torkelson, recalled from Triple-A Toledo earlier in the day, supplied a double, triple and walk and scored a run. Zach McKinstry added two hits, a run scored and an RBI. Colt Keith chipped in two hits and an RBI.
Jace Jung, playing in his second major league contest, contributed the first two hits of his career. Detroit, which was blanked 3-0 in the series opener, has won five of its last six games.
Yankees starter Carlos Rodon (13-8) gave up four runs and seven hits in 3 1/3 innings. Oswald Cabrera had two of the Yankees' hits.
Aaron Judge, who hit his major-league leading 44th home run on Friday, added a double.
The Tigers scored a two-out run in the first. Justyn-Henry Malloy hit a ground rule double and Keith brought him in with a single to center.
In his first at-bat, Torkelson ripped an opposite-field double leading off the second. Rodon retired the next two batters, but McKinstry scored Torkelson with a single to right. After Matt Vierling drew a walk, Ibanez ripped a Rodon slider for a double to knock in both runners.
New York's best scoring chance against Montero came in the second. Austin Wells drew a leadoff walk. After a fielder's choice and groundout, Anthony Volpe had an infield single to put runners on the corners. Ben Rice flied out to center to leave the runners stranded.
Torkelson tripled to lead off the sixth against Tim Mayza. He tried to score when a pitch to Jung bounced away from catcher Austin Wells, but he was thrown out at home.
