Summary
Gerrit Cole takes the mound for his sixth 2026 start as New York visits Detroit, carrying a 2-1 record, 2.57 ERA and 1.00 WHIP.
Cole enters off six innings of two-run ball against the White Sox and has held current Tigers hitters to a .200 average, with Kerry Carpenter the main exception.
Detroit counters with Framber Valdez, who is 3-5 with a 4.09 ERA after an offseason move and has been shakier at home, posting a 4.94 ERA there.
The matchup comes with the Yankees still 16 games above .500 despite Aaron Judge's absence, while the Tigers sit 33-44 even with strong seasons from Riley Greene and Dillon Dingler.
