Yankees struggle in loss to Tigers as offense falters and pitching fails

The Yankees lost 9-3 to the Tigers on Tuesday, extending their losing streak to six games. Cam Schlittler, despite previously leading the AL in ERA, allowed six earned runs over just four innings, including three home runs. Spencer Jones nearly robbed a homer but dropped the ball at the wall, contributing to the early deficit. The Yankees managed only four hits, breaking a string of three games with three or fewer hits. Manager Aaron Boone emphasized the need for better at-bats and execution as the team looks to turn things around in the final game of the series on Wednesday.
