DETROIT (AP) — Andy Ibañez homered, Casey Mize pitched six effective innings and the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees 6-2 on Monday for their fourth consecutive victory.
Jake Rogers walked three times and scored two runs as the Tigers improved to 6-1 since they were swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers in their season-opening series.
Ibañez hit a three-run drive off Carlos Rodón (1-2) with two out in the third. It was his first homer of the season.
Mize (2-0) allowed one run and four hits. He struck out six and walked three.
Rodón struck out eight in six-plus innings, but he was charged with six runs — five earned — and four hits.
Aaron Judge made it 3-1 with an RBI single in the fifth, but Justyn-Henry Malloy responded with a two-run single in the bottom half.
The game was moved up to an afternoon start time because of frigid temperatures in Detroit. It was 38 degrees at the first pitch with light snow.
Ben Rice tripled with one out in the third, but he was picked off by Rogers. Judge then walked before Cody Bellinger lined out to second.
At the end of the fifth, the Tigers had five runs on two hits and hadn't left a runner on base. Rodón walked two batters before Ibañez's homer, and a walk and an error set up Malloy's two-run single.
The teams play Tuesday in another game that was moved to the afternoon because of the weather. Carlos Carrasco (1-0, 7.36 ERA) will face Tigers ace Tarik Skubal (0-2, 5.91 ERA).

Andre Onana was left out of Manchester United's squad for Sunday's Premier League game against Newcastle following the goalkeeper's latest high-profile errors for the club.
The Cameroon international was partially at fault for both goals in United's 2-2 draw with Lyon in the Europa League on Thursday and was not even a substitute for the game at St. James’ Park, with back-up keeper Altay Bayindir named in the starting lineup and third-choice Tom Heaton on the bench.
“Sometimes, you have to push the player to play again, sometimes you have to let him disconnect a little bit,” United head coach Ruben Amorim said. “You have to manage everything, sometimes people just look at the physical aspect but the mental aspect is really, really important.
“It’s for just one game and we give Altay an opportunity, he deserves it also and then, again, tomorrow is a new life and we will prepare for the next one.”
Onana was a serial title winner with Ajax and joined United from Inter Milan for $57 million in 2023, but has endured an error-strewn time since that move.
Last year he admitted he had to protect his mental health after a series of costly mistakes.
His mistakes against Lyon came after former United player Nemanja Matic described him as “one of the worst goalkeepers” in the club’s history.
