Runs come easily to Tigers vs. Yanks

 
For the fourth time in 11 days, the Tigers beat up on Yankees pitching and got enough quality innings from their own starter to make it stick. On Friday, it was Kenny Rogers' turn for the second time in three outings, and he held New York to two runs in six-plus innings, as Detroit's bats overwhelmed Kei Igawa for a 6-5 win at Comerica Park.
