Tigers beat Yankees 5-3 for fourth straight win

It was a quiet Monday for most Finger Lakes-area teams, with the only action coming out of the Bronx, where the Detroit Tigers handed the New York Yankees a 5-3 loss to extend their winning streak to four games.

Riley Greene provided the offensive spark for Detroit, while Framber Valdez was solid on the mound, outdueling Yankees ace Gerrit Cole in a result that will sting in New York. The Tigers improved to 34-44 on the season, still well below .500, but showing some life heading into the summer stretch. For the Yankees, the loss drops them to 46-31 — still a strong record, but they’ll want to stop the bleeding before a four-game skid becomes something more concerning.

The Bills, Sabres, Giants, Rangers, Knicks, Red Wings, Knighthawks, and area college programs were all idle Monday. Tuesday’s schedule will tell whether this quiet stretch is a one-day breather or the start of a slow week across the board.
