A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers.

The New York Yankees converted a terrific effort from starter Joe Sparrow into a win over the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. The Yankees won the game by a final score of 5-2. Sparrow yielded no runs over 5.2 innings to notch the win. He scattered 2 hits, walked 4, and struck out 6. His record improves to 14-7.

The Yankees got an important contribution from shortstop Bob Rogerson, who in the top of the fourth hit a 3-1 sinker to right for a 2-run double. It was his 28th double of the season and put the Yankees ahead, 5-0.

"We're one win closer to our goal," Rogerson said in postgame remarks.

New York is now 71-54. Detroit is 56-69.
