Summary
Detroit beat New York 6-2 in 11 innings on Wednesday, handing the Yankees a seventh straight loss after a four-run Tigers outburst in the top of the 11th.
Aaron Judge, sidelined with a rib injury, said the skid reflects a "little lack of focus" and urged teammates to remember the club's World Series goal and simply "do your job."
The slump has pushed New York to 8 losses in its last 10 games and left it three games behind Tampa Bay in the AL East.
Judge offered no timetable for his return, saying the Yankees are still waiting on follow-up imaging, though the club remains atop the American League wild-card standings.
