In the bottom of the first, Ben Rice hit a solo home run with two outs.
In the top of the third, Dillon Dingler singled, and Riley Greene hit his second home run of the game.
In the top of the sixth, Spencer Torkelson singled, Zach McKinstry was safe on a fielder's choice, and James OUtman homered to drive in Mr. Torkelson and Mr. McKinley. That gave the Tigers a 9-1 lead.
In the bottom of the sixth, Max Schuemann was hit by a pitch, advanced on a fielding error by Zach McKinstry, and scored as the Tigers turned a double play.
In the bottom of the ninth, Amed Rosario walked, went to second base on defensive indifference, and scored on a single by Jasson Dominguez.
The Tigers beat the Yankees again on Wednesday to complete the sweep.

Skubal works 6 strong innings, Tigers hit 5 homers in 9-3 win over the Yankees
By AP

NEW YORK -- — Tarik Skubal pitched six innings of one-hit ball and Riley Greene hit two of Detroit's four homers off Cam Schlittler as the Tigers beat the Yankees 9-3 on Tuesday night and sent New York to its season-worst sixth straight loss.
The Tigers hit five homers overall against the Yankees for the first time since Aug. 30, 2018.
Skubal (4-4), making his fourth start since returning from elbow surgery, allowed only Ben Rice’s 23rd homer in the first inning and an unearned run in the sixth. The two-time defending AL Cy Young Award winner struck out nine and walked none after allowing four runs to the Yankees last week in Detroit.
Skubal threw 61 of 87 pitches for strikes and retired 12 straight after Rice’s homer in the first.
Greene hit a solo shot during a four-run first inning off Schlittler (8-5) and added a two-run drive in the third for a 6-1 lead. It was Greene’s eighth career multi-homer game.
Before Greene's first homer, Kerry Carpenter hit a solo shot in which center fielder Spencer Jones could not complete a leaping catch at the right-center field fence and saw the ball pop out of his glove into the Yankees’ bullpen.
Spencer Torkelson hit a two-run homer to cap a 10-pitch at-bat in which he fouled off six pitches.
Schlittler allowed a career-high six runs runs and seven hits in four-plus innings. The hard-throwing right-hander had his ERA climb from 1.62 to 2.08.
Schlittler allowed four homers after allowing six homers in his first 17 starts. He had never allowed more than two in any start and became the first Yankees pitcher to allow four homers to the Tigers since Chuck Cary in 1989 at Tiger Stadium.
Detroit's James Outman hit a three-run homer in the sixth off Ryan Yarbrough after second baseman José Caballero committed a throwing error on a force play.
New York has managed just 16 hits in its last five games.
Up next
Detroit RHP Troy Melton (4-1, 2.39 ERA) opposes New York RHP Will Warren (7-3, 3.75) in the series finale on Wednesday afternoon.

In the top of the first, with two outs, Kerry Carpenter homered, Riley Greene homered, Colt Keith singled, and Spencer Torkelson homered. That's four runs on three home runs.
