The New York Yankees extended their losing streak to five games with a 7-3 defeat against the Detroit Tigers on June 29, marking their eighth loss in the last 10 contests. The team's defensive miscues were on full display, contributing to 14 unearned runs over their past five games.
In a particularly jarring moment, Yankees right fielder Jasson Domínguez collided with and clotheslined Jazz Chisholm Jr. during the game, forcing Chisholm out of play. The incident underscored the self-inflicted nature of the Yankees' struggles.
Pitcher Ryan Weathers had the shortest outing of the season for the Yankees, lasting just 1 ⅔ innings. He surrendered five runs, two of which were earned, on seven hits and a walk. The defense behind him, or lack thereof, contributed to an extended first inning for Weathers. For example, a double by Dillon Dingler eventually scored on a single by Spencer Torkelson after advancing on a passed ball. A ground ball that eluded shortstop Anthony Volpe could have ended the inning unscathed for Weathers had it been fielded.
The Yankees' offense struggled for much of the game, managing only one hit through seven innings against Tigers pitcher Casey Mize. Amed Rosario provided a late spark with a three-run home run in the eighth inning, but it was not enough to overcome the deficit. The game was attended by 40,506 fans.
