For a while there, it looked like neither team was going to give up any ground in this game. It was a strikeout fiesta for both sides, leaving us feeling tense 
through the first few innings. Ben Rice, Aaron Judge, and Cody Bellinger weren't able to find their groove early, and it seemed the bats might stay quiet.Rice's Heroics Propel Yankees
The breakthrough moment came in the 7th inning when Ben Rice crushed a colossal homer to center field, driving in Oswaldo Cabrera and putting the Yankees up 2-0. What a sensational hit!
Not long after, Aaron Judge extended the lead, driving in two more runs in the 9th to make it 4-0.Tigers Fight to the End
