Yanks start fast again, cruise to win

New York 8, TIGERS 2
at Detroit, MI

NY   421 000 010 = 8-13-2
DET 000 100 001 = 2-4-1
WP- Ruffing; LP- Auker (5-7)
HR- Henrich, NY (2nd inning; 1 on, 0 out); Gordon, NY (3rd inning; 0 on, 1 out); Selkirk, NY (8th inning; 0 on, 1 out)

For the second straight day, the Yankees jumped all over a Tigers starter. This time, a four-run first inning set the tone. After retiring the first batter, Eldon Auker allowed the next seven hitters to reach base. Tommy Henrich added a two-run homer in the second inning to give New York a 6-0 lead. The Tigers lost their fourth straight game, mustering just four hits off Red Ruffing, who pitched a complete game.

TIGERS: 49-46; Home: 23-25; Away: 26-21
