Goldschmidt hits 2 HRs, Domnguez has go-ahead HR off Skubal in Yankees' 4-2
win over Tigers

DETROIT (AP) --- Paul Goldschmidt had two home runs and Jasson Domnguez hit a
go-ahead, two-run shot in the sixth inning off Tarik Skubal, lifting the New
York Yankees to a 4-2 series-winning victory over the Detroit Tigers on
Wednesday night.
Skubal (3-4) tied a career high by giving up three home runs, allowing that
many in a game for the first time since 2021. The two-time reigning Cy Young
Award winner gave up only one other hit, didn't walk a batter and had nine
strikeouts over six innings.
Ryan Weathers (3-5) allowed two runs --- one earned --- six hits and walked two
while striking out six in six innings.
Yerry De los Santos and Fernando Cruz combined for two innings of relief and
David Bednar pitched the ninth for his 16th save.
Skubal got off to a rough start with three straight balls and Goldschmidt took
advantage, hitting a 3-1 high fastball over the left-field wall.
In Goldschmidt's next at-bat in the third, he hit a hanging curveball to left
center for his 13th homer --- three more than he had last season --- just after
Skubal had an injury scare. Skubal appeared to hurt his groin while pitching to
Max Schuemann, but stayed in the game.
After giving up a second homer to Goldschmidt, the 2024 pitching Triple Crown
winner retired nine straight --- striking out seven of them --- before Ben Rice
hit a single and Dominguez followed with a full-count, two-out homer to make it
4-2.
