Tigers 6, Yankees 3
DETROIT — Brennan Boesch homered and drove in three runs, and the Tigers beat the Yankees for the third straight time. Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter didn't play, taking the day off after leaving Wednesday's game with a hip problem. His replacement, Eduardo Nunez, made two errors, including a high throw in the seventh that gave the Tigers two runs. A.J. Burnett held Detroit hitless until the sixth but made an error that led to a Detroit run in the first.
