Bobby Abreu hit a two-run homer in the third inning, but New York never recovered after Mike Mussina gave up a grand slam in the first inning. With the loss, the Yankees fell a half-game behind the idle Mariners in the American League Wild Card race.

Carlos Guillen, fighting the flu, blasted a grand slam in the first inning as Detroit never looked back in the series opener. Ivan Rodriguez later homered and Justin Verlander pitched into the sixth. The win put the Tigers into first place in the American League Central by a half-game over idle Cleveland.
