Keider Montero’s four-run blast in the 11th and Zach McKinstry’s go-ahead single complete Detroit’s statement series win over the Yankees at the new Yankee Stadium.
The Tigers ended a 16-year curse in the Bronx with a statement series win, as Keider Montero’s dominant 11th inning—featuring four RBIs—set the stage for Zach McKinstry’s go-ahead two-run single in the same frame. Detroit completed its first sweep of the Yankees at the new Yankee Stadium since 2008, a victory that doubles as a declaration of intent in the AL East race. Montero, who entered the game in the 10th inning, retired the first two batters before surrendering a single.
