“#Yankees’ offense falls flat again in loss to Tigers<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

DETROIT \u2014 That winning streak that got the Yankees back in the conversation for first place in the AL East is now a distant memory.<\/p>\n

Since winning six straight against the Rangers and White Sox through last Sunday, they\u2019ve lost four of five to the Blue Jays and Tigers, with the latest defeat a sleepy 6-1 loss to Detroit, the last-place team in the AL Central, on Saturday at Comerica Park.<\/p>\n

They were held to two runs or fewer in each of those losses and young right-hander Deivi Garcia\u2019s return to the rotation Saturday wasn\u2019t able to provide a spark \u2014 though he was given little chance.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old, who had been expected to make a spot start to give the other starters an extra day of rest but instead was needed to fill in for the injured Corey Kluber, gave up five runs in 4 \u00b9\/\u2083 innings.<\/p>\n

After dealing with command issues for much of the season, Garcia walked just one, but he was hurt by a throwing error from Rougned Odor that led to an unearned run in the second inning and a pair of doubles in the fifth that ended his outing.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Yankees\u2019 offense, which went hitless with runners in scoring position in Friday\u2019s loss and has had difficulty producing in the clutch all year, again provided little.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t take long for those woes to surface Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Yankees threatened to have a big inning in the top of the second against right-hander Spencer Turnbull when a walk to Gleyber Torres, a single by Gary Sanchez and a Mike Ford walk loaded the bases with no one out.<\/p>\n

But Miguel Andujar grounded into a double play. That scored Torres from third for the game<\/a>\u2019s first run, but killed the Yankees\u2019 momentum.<\/p>\n

Clint Frazier walked to extend the inning before Brett Gardner popped out to end it.<\/p>\n
