"The Yankees failed to carry over the momentum they might've generated with their series win in Houston, laying an egg in the series opener with the Blue Jays. They've got two more chances to get things right against their rivals, but if they fail, their sights will start to be set pretty squarely on the AL Wild Card race rather than the push for an AL East title."
"It was another uneven start for Jack Flaherty, who has just looked too hittable too often this season. He lasted just 4.1 innings, giving up four runs on six hits. Chicago kept up a steady attack against Flaherty, tallying a single run in the first, third, fourth, and fifth innings. The Tigers scored in more exciting bursts.

The Yankees failed to carry over momentum from their series win in Houston, losing the opener to the Blue Jays and risking a shift from the AL East race to the AL Wild Card chase. The AL Wild Card standings remain congested, with many flawed teams competing for three spots. The Tigers dropped a winnable game to the White Sox despite a secure AL Central lead. Jack Flaherty lasted 4.1 innings, allowing four runs on six hits. Parker Meadows hit a two-run homer in his first at-bat off the IL, and the Tigers later scored two runs on a wild pitch. Andrew Benintendi and Colson Montgomery hit homers, and Jordan Leasure earned a five-out save.
