TIGERS vs. YANKEES- Official Full Game Highlights (July 1) - 2026 MLB Season

It's the New York Yankees against the Detroit Tigers in the final game of the three game set. It is not going well for the Yankees right now. They are in a flat spot to say the least. They've lost six in a row and they've scored just 15 runs. They've allowed 37. So the Yankees have a lot of things to straighten out. Will Warner will try to stop this losing streak for the Yankees on a sweltering hot Wednesday afternoon here in the Bronx. It's lofted to left field. Bellinger is there. One pitch one out. So here's Dylan Diggler. He just finished a great June. That's a line drive into left. That's a base hit. Tracing the chalk into that deep left field corner. Dylan Diggler once again coasts into second with a double. Gets a sinker coming in on his hands. He's able to pull him through and get just enough on that ball and muscle it right down the left field line for a double. Gets himself into scoring position. Softly tapped the second base. Chisholm is there. And he gets Carpenter running hard for the second out as Diggler moves to third. Brings up Wiley Green who had the two home runs yesterday early on in the game. Swing and a miss. That is some good work by Will Warren to strand that runner at third. Well the Tigers leave a runner stranded at third. Now it's the Yankees turn against Troy Melton. Ground ball up the middle and through for a base hit for Rice. Now two for four with a home run against Troy Melton. Here's Dominguez two for six in the first two games. Fly ball. Center field. Outman. One away. Go to Bellinger. Off yesterday. Swing and a miss. He's down on strikes. Soft ground ball to the left side. Keith cuts it off in front of McGonigal. Flips to Torkelson. Rosario grounds out and that's a really nice start for Troy Melton. The Yankees can't catch a break right now. They're not hitting well. They're not pitching well. Everybody says you know keep swinging it. You're swinging it well. You want results. It's really hard to grasp. So with that ground ball Volpe is now two for his last 24. So two down. That's going to bring up Wells. And Wells another guy Paul. He's two for his last 23. 3-2 is there. Strike three. No challenge. He said I'm not seeing it today. This guy's pretty good. I'm going to go set the dugout. Lineup turns over for Kevin McGonigal. First pitch is hit high in the air to right center field. This one's deep. This one's way back and that ball is gone. Has a big fan base here at the game today. There are 40 to 50 people from his high school in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania just outside of Philadelphia. They all bust in to watch Kevin play today. They have to be ecstatic to have seen Kevin go deep in this one. You really got to be impressed. You can just see what he is going to become. He's having a great year as a rookie. Only 21 years old. That was his seventh home run. Aaron Boone has said at times that he has spoken to this group to reiterate about that focus and try to get them back on track. And one thing he said, Michael, they have a sign going up from the dugout from where they have the area down before you go to the steps to the dugout. And it says, do your job. And he said, that's all guys need to do. And a second baseman McKinstry is right there. Couple of balls squared up. Not going to show for it. And Cole Keith will start it off. Driven out to left field. Bellinger back. Still back. And he makes a play as he runs onto the track for the first out. When you go to the Bellinger, you looked up and he took those two steps like, uh-oh. And I'm thinking, wow, is this ball going to carry that much? And we've talked about the heat and the ball will carry. It makes a huge difference. And Torkelson down on strikes. Two away. Five strikeouts. No walks. Home run by McGonigal. The only score in the ballgame. Looped into shallow center field. On the run is Bumpy. And he makes the play. Gorgeous catch by the Yankees. Shortstop going out in the short center field. Oh, that was very nice. Over the shoulder. Oh, yeah. Look at Jazz here, and he's one guy that you look at can really do a lot for you offensively. You know, the team's going well. You've got the talent to really help this team. Hits sharply and past Torkelson. And down into the right field corner. Jazz Chisholm will go to second. He's going to stop right there as the throw comes into second. A two-out double for the Yankees second baseman. If you can get him on the same page of using that talent every single pitch of the game, he can pick up a lot of slack for this team. And that'll bring up Anthony Volpe. 3-2 to Volpe. The pitch. Swing and a miss. Down and in. But a pretty good fastball. And Jazz Chisholm stranded at second. No runs a hit. No errors in the man left. Four complete. 1-0 Detroit. But, again, this has been three years running. This is with Aaron Judge in the lineup the last two years and without him. This is a very pitchable lineup. We've said it a lot, and the Tigers have proven it to be true. Wave and a miss. That's a slider buried by Troy Melton. Strikeout number five. Wells is second. It's just impossible to cover all the pitches that Troy Melton has. When he's going right, it all looks so easy. It is not that easy, but it looks so easy. And a 1-2-3 fifth for Troy Melton. Stays on the attack. Pitch count low through five. We head to the sixth. Here's Dylan Dinglett. Good catcher. Swings and hits it up the middle on the ground. Into center field for a base hit. His second hit here today. That kid is having a great year. You got to really be careful here. If you're worn, you got to realize, hey, you know what? My offense is struggling. We're struggling as a team. I cannot give up a big inning. That ball is shocked to right center field. It's a base hit. Now Dinglett turns on the Jets. Throw from center field. Caballero is offline, and he made a bad choice. He was not going to get Dinglett at third. Carpenter gets to second with nobody out, and the Tigers take advantage of a guy in center who just does not play there very often. It's allowing Detroit to set up for that inning that you're trying to stay away from the big inning. And that's what we're talking about with focus. I know that Caballero is a neophyte out in center field, but you can't make that throw. This is a time. Riley Green is a good hitter. Two home runs last night. I think if you're Will Warren, you got to realize, he's the guy in the lineup that can put three runs on the board in one swing. Fly ball, left field and deep, backing up Bellinger on the track at the wall. He makes the play. Tagging is Dinglett. He'll score. Moving to third is Carpenter. It's a sack fly for Green, and it worked out even better than just a sack fly. As the runner moves to third now with one out. Air-mailed open throw. Now you've got another hitter or another runner at third base. So with Keith coming up, that's going to do it for Warren. Tigers are down or up 2-0, and they have a runner at third. 2-0 Detroit. Blackburn needs to come up. Very large right here. Keith swings, and this is a big strikeout for Blackburn and the Yankees. Two away. This is a huge out for the Yankees to stay in this game. And he walked him on four pitches. So runners on the corners for McKinstry. Blackburn needs an out big time here. 1-1. There's a pitch. Swing on a hit. Right back to Blackburn. The ball went between his legs. He put his glove down. It went right into his glove. That's a highlight film right there. Wasn't hit hard, but he made the play. Nicely done, and the damage is limited to one. You know, when a team gets shut down so thoroughly offensively, you almost feel loathe to not give credit to the pitchers. But it can't all be the pitching. I'm sorry. It just can't all be the pitching. Again, it's very hard to say that every single pitcher for a week straight is Cy Young. And a swing and a miss. Troubles continues. He caves here in a 1-2-3 frame in the sixth. So in the six straight losses that the Yankees have had, they've averaged 2.5 runs per game. Right back to Melton. And in the first 79 games of the season, they averaged double that, 5.06 runs per game. Well, now they'll try to solve the Tiger bullpen. That's going to do it for Melton with a very strong six and a third. And during the six-game losing streak, they're slugging at 217, which is absolutely anemic. Swing and a miss. He's down on strike. So Anthony with his 0 for 2 this afternoon. Two for his last 25. Charging his McGonigal. Throws on the run and just gets Volpe who's hustling up the line. 1-2-3 in the seventh. 8th inning coming up. Well, Drew Anderson comes on. The Yankees will send up Spencer Jones to pinch hit for Austin Wells. There's a pinch hit single for Spencer Jones. There's Caballero. Jose Caballero 0 for 2. Ground ball and through for base hit. Pass to Diving Keith. Two straight hits for the Yankees here in the eighth inning. And they're set up first and second. Nobody out. Hi, Paul. Let's manage. Do you have Caballero on here? Well, I think Caballero's in a position where he might do it on his own. But, yeah, I think if you feel like you're going to turn the lineup over to Rice, I would move these runners over. Tiger's expecting it. He's squaring to bunt. And it's a nice bunt. Third base. And the out is made. So it's 5-4 sacrifice. And now the Yankees have the tying run in scoring position. Now you put your most productive hitter with 23 home runs in a position, hopefully to succeed. Swing and a miss. A big strikeout for Anderson as Rice goes down swinging two away. Here's Jason Dominguez. Lined into center field. Boy, he pulled it a little bit to the right or sliced it left field. We got a tie ballgame, but it didn't happen. Drew Anderson's still in there. Here's Ahmed Rosario. 0 for 3. Five for his last 21. Man, is this team scuffling. Drill down the left field line. Hot. See ya. A home run for Rosario. Yankees are on the board. It's 2-1. It is Ahmed Rosario who does something every single time something starts. He's right in the middle of it. But at least now, as Chisholm comes to the plate. Chisholm beats it out. The tying run's on base. Now this comes into play. Jazz, exceptional speed. You know him as a base stealer. No throw and he steals third. 90 feet away from tying the game. And that will force the Tigers to bring the infield in. We were talking earlier in the game what Jazz can do for this team. These are the things he can do for this team. They got an opportunity to tie this game out of nowhere right here. And it gets away. It gets away and the Yankees have tied the game at two. Aided by Rosario. Infield single. Stolen base. And then they tie the game on the wild pitch. He's going to run by himself with a single. Stole second. Stole third. Wild pitch. No hit needed. Tie game. This is odd that staying with Anderson. And that one is off of Anderson. He doesn't know where it is. A base hit for Volpe. Volpe's another guy that you're going to have to worry about stealing second base. A clear message to Kenley Jansen. We don't trust you. There goes Volpe. Pitches outside. Throw down to second. Out at second base for now. I thought real time he was in there, but we will see. I don't know, man. You've got two chances at it. You've got two because his foot, it looks like originally he might be safe, but then he bounces and the tag is still on him when he pops up off the bat. The runner is out and New York will lose their ground. Here we go, three and two, two out. The pitch of Anderson. Swung on, popped it out. Playable infield. This will be McGonagall on the left side. In the dirt and we go to extra frames as he makes the catch. The Yankees are one and four at extra inning games, Detroit one and six. So they intentionally walk Ben Rice and they're going to take their chance with Ali Sanchez who was part of a double switch when they had Spencer Jones pinch it for Wells and now Sanchez comes up with a chance to win the game for the Yankees. Second and third. Two men out. Bottom of the tenth. Swing and a miss. Peter Montero throws it right down the middle and Sanchez could not get it. Camilo Duval will be the next Yankee pitcher. Last nine games he's got an ERA of under one so they're hoping he's turned this around because he's so inconsistent. And the pitch. And he walked him. So now the base is loaded for Torkelson. Nail bite in time here in the Bronx. Base is loaded. Two men out. 2-2 game. The Yankees trail 2-0 going to the bottom of the ninth inning. The runners will go 3-2 and two outs. Duval deals. Downstairs ball four. Tigers take the lead. Comes out of his hand and he recognizes it right away with that low sidearm delivery. He can see it all the way that it's down. It was so far out of the strike zone it was an easy take for Torkelson. You didn't make him think about swinging. But now it gets really important because the Yankees get a runner at second base, start the 11. You don't want a crooked number put up. And here's McKinstry. Ground ball and through for a base hit. Green scores. Here comes Lee. Here's the throw. Not in time. Going to second is McKinstry. The throw goes into center field and that allows Torkelson to score. And the Tigers have broken this open. That's why you just keep playing baseball. You just got to keep going. The Tigers, it looked like they were down and out. And here they stand. The throw comes in. It was high. McKinstry's going to second. Sanchez's throw is high to Volpe. There was a snowball fight. All sorts of stuff happening. All three runners score. The Yankees trail 2-3. I mean, this is kind of a microcosm of what has happened to the Yankees. So now the Yankees are down to their final strike. The 1-2. Strike three. Ball game over. And the Yankees lose their seventh straight game. An absolutely awful stretch of baseball by the Yankees. As they continue to lose, their defense continues to be porous and not getting the hits when they need them.
