August 29 – Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres hit back-to-back homers, Luis Severino pitched seven shutout innings and the visiting New York Yankees defeated the Detroit Tigers 4-1 on Monday.

Severino (4-8) gave up five hits and didn’t issue a walk while striking out a season-high eight. Torres had two RBIs in the opener of a four-game series. New York is 0-8-2 in its past 10 series.

Akil Baddoo homered in the ninth inning for Detroit’s lone run. Starter Reese Olson (2-6) recorded a career-high 10 strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings. He gave up one run on three hits and four walks.

The Yankees loaded the bases in the first on walks to DJ LeMahieu and Torres and an error by first baseman Spencer Torkelson on a grounder by Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Olson then struck out Anthony Volpe to escape the jam.

Zach McKinstry hit a two-out triple in the bottom of the third. Severino then retired Riley Greene on a groundout.

Olson issued a one-out walk to Judge in the fifth and Torres followed with a deep double to left-center, allowing Judge to score from first. That ended the night for Olson, who he was replaced by Brendan White.

McKinstry’s second triple of the game came with one out in the sixth. The Yankees brought the infield in for Greene, who hit into a fielder’s choice as McKinstry was cut down at the plate. After Matt Vierling singled, Severino struck out Torkelson.

The Yankees increased their lead to 3-0 in the seventh with back-to-back, two-out long balls off Beau Brieske. Judge lined his 29th homer of the season over the left field wall, and Torres took advantage of a changeup with a 430-foot blast to left. He now has 21 homers.

Kerry Carpenter reached third in the bottom of the inning on a single, a balk and a groundout. Javier Baez grounded out to end the frame, keeping Detroit off the board.

New York tacked on a run in the eighth off Jose Cisnero. Kiner-Falefa led off with an infield single, moved to second on a groundout and scored on Oswaldo Cabrera’s single.

Baddoo broke up the shutout bid in the ninth with his homer off Clay Holmes.

Lions News: Terrion Arnold ranked top DROY candidate

Terrion Arnold has yet to step foot on the turf of an NFL game and league analysts are dropping his name in the hat to win Defensive Rookie of the Year.

CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso ranked the new Detroit Lion as the leading candidate for DROY, citing his clean performance on film and despite a so-so combine.

“A decade ago, he may be considered small for the outside cornerback spot. Not today, with the way receivers — even perimeter ones — around the league are getting smaller and lighter,” he said.

It’s just how well Arnold is needed and fits with Detroit that particularly seals the deal for Trapasso.

“In the 2023 regular season, the Lions finished fourth in defensive pressure rate at 41.6%, and they added butt-kicking nose tackle D.J. Reader to the front along with Marcus Davenport. The Lions are going to disrupt the quarterback. Often. Music to the ears of Arnold, who, alongside former teammate Brian Branch, is going to be a magnet to the football en route to winning Defensive Rookie of the Year,” he writes.

He’s not the only one. Last month, ESPN NFL draft expert Matt Miller also named Arnold as his pick for DROY for largely the same reasons.

“The Lions can get after the quarterback and create opportunities for the defensive backs to make plays. Arnold will reap the benefits of that pass rush with his ball-hawking skills that allowed him to grab five interceptions at Alabama last season,” he said.

And onto the rest of your notes.

CBS Sports’ Jeff Kerr takes a stab at ranking the divisions following the draft and free agency, explaining the NFC North took a giant leap to second place. “The NFC North could compete with the AFC North for the best division. It depends on how the Bears and Vikings progress.”

Similarly, NFL.com columnist Jeffri Chadiha says the Lions are the fourth-most improved team ahead of the 2024 season. “The Lions haven’t made too many mistakes since GM Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell arrived three years ago. This offseason just put them one step closer to a championship.”
