May 4, 2024, 01:53 AM

In a dramatic turn of events at Yankee Stadium, the New York Yankees secured a 2-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers with a walk-off single by Anthony Rizzo. The game was tied in the bottom of the ninth inning thanks to a crucial double by Giancarlo Stanton. Despite being booed in his previous at-bat, Stanton's hit set the stage for Rizzo's game-winning single. The Yankees had been scoreless for the first eight innings, managing to rally in the ninth to clinch the win. This victory was influenced by some questionable managerial decisions from the Tigers' AJ Hinch, including excessive pitching changes and not walking Rizzo when the opportunity arose.
