Yankees fall to Tigers; lose Tulowitzki:
A year after winning 100 games, New York has opened by dropping two of three to both the Baltimore Orioles and Tigers, teams that combined for 213 losses last season. New York already has 10 players on the injured list and may soon add another — shortstop Troy Tulowitzki was pulled with a strained left calf.
Boyd became the first Tigers pitcher to open the season with consecutive double-digit strikeout games since at least 1908. He punched out 10 in a 6-0 loss to Toronto last Friday.Tulowitzki left prior to the fourth inning, going to a hospital for further testing. The five-time All-Star fielded one routine grounder at short and popped up in his only at-bat, showing no obvious signs of injury. Gleyber Torres slid to shortstop and Tyler Wade entered at second to replace him.
A week into the season, the Yankees lead the majors in players on the IL. That includes eight players who combined for 26.5 wins above replacement for New York last season, more than half of their 56 total, per Fangraphs.
