The Yankees fell 9-3 to the Detroit Tigers in Detroit Tuesday, pushing their season‑long skid to six-game losing streak. Detroit’s ace Tarik Skubal struck early, scattering three homers and four runs in the first two innings. Yankees starter Cam Schlittler surrendered four runs on three hits, posting his worst outing of an otherwise All‑Star season.

New York managed just 16 hits in its last five games, the fewest ever for a five‑game stretch in franchise history. Against starting pitchers the club is 8‑for‑107 (.075), has struck out 38 times and posted a .264 OPS. Injuries have thinned the line‑up: Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Trent Grisham and Ryan McMahons remain sidelined, while Cody Bellinger sits after a 2‑for‑27 slump.

Manager Aaron Boone called the week “rough,” and shortstop Anthony Volpe admitted the group is pressing at the plate. Despite Rice’s solo homer and Goldschmidt’s recent two‑run blast, the Yankees have struggled to generate quality at‑bats. They return to the field Wednesday needing a win to halt the slide, with Grisham and McMahons slated to rejoin the roster Friday and stay focused.
