Andy Ibanez hit a three-run homer, Casey Mize pitched six strong innings and the host Detroit Tigers extended their winning streak to four games with a 6-2 victory over the New York Yankees on Monday.

Justyn-Henry Malloy supplied a two-run single for Detroit, which has won six of its last seven games. Jake Rogers and Colt Keith scored two runs apiece.

Mize limited the Yankees to one run and four hits in six innings while recording six strikeouts. Tyler Holton, Beau Brieske and Tommy Kahnle each tossed an inning of scoreless relief.

Yankees starter Carlos Rodon gave up six runs, five earned, on four hits with eight strikeouts in six-plus innings. Aaron Judge had an RBI single for New York, which managed just one extra-base hit in the chilly conditions.

The Yankees left two runners stranded in the first. Ben Rice drew a leadoff walk and Paul Goldschmidt had a one-out single but Mize retired Jazz Chisholm Jr. on a flyout.

A baserunning blunder cost New York in the third. Rice smacked a one-out triple to right-center field. With Judge at bat, catcher Rogers picked Rice off of third base.

Rogers and Ryan Kreidler walked with one out in the bottom of the inning. Rodon struck out the next batter before Ibanez lined a changeup over the left-field wall for his first homer of the season.

Mize struck out two batters in the fourth.

The Yankees got on the board in the fifth. Trent Grisham reached on a one-out single and moved up on a groundout. Rice walked before Judge singled to left to score Grisham. Mize escaped further damage by striking out Cody Bellinger.

The Tigers extended their lead to 5-1 in the bottom of the inning. Keith reached on third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera's error. Rogers walked again and both runners advanced on a sacrifice. Malloy then singled to center, bringing in both runners.

Trey Sweeney's fielder's choice grounder knocked in the other Detroit run in the seventh. A Keith error allowed the Yankees to score an unearned run in the eighth.
