Jazz Chisholm Jr. hits go-ahead homer, Yankees fend off Tigers

Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered, singled and scored twice to help the visiting New York Yankees end a three-game skid with a 4-3 win against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.

Anthony Volpe added two hits for the Yankees, who lost 5-3 in the opener of the three-game series on Monday night.

Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (4-2) won his third straight outing after pitching 5 1/3 innings, allowing three runs and six hits, striking out five and walking two.

Fernando Cruz and Brent Headrick combined for 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief before David Bednar recorded a four-out save for his 15th of the season.

Tigers starter Casey Mize (2-5) saw his winless streak stretch to six starts (0-4) after allowing four runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings. The right-hander struck out six and walked one.

Dillon Dingler delivered three hits, an RBI and a run for Detroit, which came in riding a four-game winning streak. Tigers right fielder Ben Malgeri made his MLB debut and contributed two hits and a run.

Malgeri shot an opposite-field single to right on the first pitch of his first MLB at-bat, putting runners on the corners with one out in the third inning.

After a wild pitch scored Zach McKinstry for a 1-0 lead, Dingler came through with a two-out RBI single to left on an 0-2 pitch, stretching the lead to 2-0.

New York put runners on first and third and one out in the fourth and scored on a chopper to third by Jose Caballero on a hit-and-run to cut it to 2-1.

Yankees left fielder Cody Bellinger threw out Riley Greene trying to score from second to end the fourth, and New York came back to take the lead for good in the sixth.

Paul Goldschmidt was on first after reaching on an infield single when Chisholm dropped his barrel on a low curveball and lifted a two-run homer to right-center field to move the Yankees in front 3-2.

It was his seventh homer in the past 22 games.

Following a two-out single by Caballero, Mize was replaced by Tyler Holton, who was greeted with a first-pitch double into the left field corner by Austin Wells, scoring Caballero from first to extend the lead to 4-2.

Dingler and Matt Vierling strung together back-to-back doubles in the bottom half of the sixth to trim it to 4-3.
