Anthony Rizzo, Yankees eye sweep of visiting Tigers

Nestor Cortes (1-3, 3.86 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Yankees against fellow left-hander Tarik Skubal (4-0, 1.72). Anthony Rizzo continued his surge on Saturday afternoon, when his three-run homer capped a four-run third inning that lifted the Yankees past the Tigers, 5-3. The four-run outburst was New York's biggest inning since April 28, when it scored seven runs in the sixth inning of a 15-5 win over the Brewers in Milwaukee. The Yankees had just two multi-run innings in the next six games — a two-run fifth inning against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday and a two-run ninth inning Friday, when they came back to edge the Tigers 2-1.
