Anthony Rizzo continues to deliver offensively Saturday afternoon, with a three-run home run to cap a four-run third inning that lifted the host New York Yankees to a 5-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers. The Yankees have won the first two games of the three-game series and three of the last four overall. Anthony Volpe drew a walk to open the third against Casey Mize (1-1) and Juan Soto singled before Aaron Judge doubled to score Volpe. Mize retired Alex Verdugo on a ground out and struck out Giancarlo Stanton before Rizzo homered deep into the right field bleachers on a 1-1 fastball. Rizzo finished 2-for-4 and is hitting .333 (15-for-45) with five homers and 12 RBIs in his last 12 games dating
