The Tigers faced a tough loss in their latest game against the Yankees.

Both pitchers were on fire, striking out a combined 20 batters in the first six innings. The game was intense, with neither team able to score until the sixth inning.

Flaherty had a strong start, but his pitch count rose quickly in the second inning. He walked Aaron Judge to start the sixth, and Paul Goldschmidt hit a double, ending Flaherty's day. Tyler Holton came in and did an amazing job, getting out of a tough situation in the sixth inning. He struck out Anthony Volpe and got the first two outs in the seventh. However, Oswaldo Cabrera hit a home run, giving the Yankees a 3-0 lead.

The ninth inning was a disaster for the Tigers. Catcher Dillon Dingler dropped two foul pop-ups, and reliever John Brebbia hit two batters. Second baseman Colt Keith made an error, allowing the Yankees to score two runs. The Tigers faced a tough task in the bottom of the ninth against Devin Williams, one of the best closers in the game. But they didn't back down. They loaded the bases and scored three runs, coming within one swing of tying the game. Unfortunately, Mark Leiter Jr. came in and ended the game, leaving the Tigers with a 4-3 loss.

The Tigers have had a tough season so far, with six regulars out due to injuries. But they have shown resilience, winning three straight series after being swept by the Dodgers. Manager AJ Hinch praised his team's effort and character, saying they play the whole game and never give up. The Tigers have a day off before heading to Minneapolis and Milwaukee for their next games. Despite the loss, they have shown they can compete with the best teams in the league. The team has a lot of heart. But it's clear that they need to work on their defense and pitching consistency. The Tigers have the talent to win, but they need to execute better in key moments. It's a work in progress, but the team is headed in the right direction.
