Stanton and Rizzo help Yankees rally in 9th inning for victory over Tigers

Stanton and Rizzo help Yankees rally in 9th inning for victory over Tigers

Giancarlo Stanton hit a tying double in the ninth inning and Anthony Rizzo followed with a game-winning single to give the New York Yankees a 2-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Friday night. Shut out on two hits for eight innings, the Yankees got four in a row off closer Jason Foley (2-1) to start and finish the bottom of the ninth in a heartbeat. “If we've got outs left, we've got time,” Stanton said. Aaron Judge bounced a single through the middle and advanced to second base on a surprise bunt single toward third by cleanup batter Alex Verdugo.
