It was a quiet Tuesday across the Finger Lakes sports calendar, with just one tracked team in action. The New York Yankees got back on track with a 4-3 win over the Detroit Tigers, snapping a three-game losing streak in the process. Jazz Chisholm Jr. was the story at the plate, providing the offensive punch New York needed to pull out a close one. The Yankees improve to 47-31 on the season, keeping them well above .500 in the American League. Detroit falls to 34-45.
The win was a needed one for New York, which had stumbled heading into the game. A three-game skid isn’t cause for alarm at 47-31, but the Yankees weren’t going to let it stretch further. Chisholm’s performance gave them a reason not to.
The rest of the region’s tracked teams were off Tuesday, including the Rochester Red Wings, Buffalo Bills, Buffalo Sabres, and Syracuse, among others. With the calendar turning toward late June, the summer sports rhythm is settling in — expect the baseball-heavy schedule to carry most of the local sports conversation for the next several weeks.
