Watch Detroit Tigers Vs. New York Yankees Live Stream: Start Time, Preview, Yanks Must Win To Stay In Race
The Yankees now face a must-win situation in a game that will live stream from the Bronx on Friday when they face Detroit again with just 28 games left on their schedule. This following a crushing defeat on Thursday, when normally reliable reliever Dellin Betances surrendered a trio of home runs as the Bombers went down to defeat 8-7, as SNY TV reports, and fell eight-and-a-half games behind the Boston Red Sox in the American League East after they had earlier gained four games in the standings in just eight days,
The Yankees hoped to add some additional punch as they make a last-ditch effort to win the AL East and avoid playing a one-game “play-in” against a second Wild card team which appears likely to be the Oakland Athletics who have won 17 of their 25 games in August alone, per Baseball Reference. In that regard, they dealt two minor league prospects to the San Francisco Giants on Thursday to acquire former National League MVP Andrew McCutchen.
But according to the North Jersey Record newspaper, McCutchen has not yet arrived in New York and appears unlikely to play in the crucial Friday night game against Detroit. And on Friday they must face Yankee-killer Jordan Zimmerman, who holds a 3-1 record against the Bronx Bombers with a 3.90 ERA in his career, according to the MLB site.

For the Yankees, struggling ace Luis Severino takes the mound looking to stop New York’s brief but damaging two-game losing streak. But Severino, after a slump in which he lost four of five starts, is on a two-game winning streak of his own, according to BR.
