NEW YORK — – Gleyber Torres<\/a> hit a go-ahead, two-run single in the fifth inning and had three RBI against his former team, leading the Detroit Tigers<\/a> over New York 11-1 on Wednesday night for their first season-series win against the Yankees since 2011.<\/p>\n

Riley Greene<\/a>, Kerry Carpenter<\/a> and Colt Keith<\/a> added late two-run homers against a Yankees bullpen that has given up 18 earned runs over two games, raising its ERA since the All-Star break to 5.37. Greene had three RBI.<\/p>\n

New York has lost consecutive games by 10 or more runs for the third time. The others came in September 1908 and August 1988.<\/p>\n

Detroit has outscored New York 23-3 over the past two nights and won four of five against the Yankees this year with one meeting left. The Tigers (84-62) moved past Toronto (83-62) for the best record in the American League and opened a 9 1\/2-game AL Central lead.<\/p>\n

Yankees star Aaron Judge<\/a> went 0 for 3 and hit into a pair of double plays, dropping his batting average to .319. His major league batting lead, which he has held since April 16, was cut to less than a percentage point over Athletics rookie Jacob Wilson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Austin Wells<\/a> hit an eighth-inning homer for New York, which remained one percentage point ahead of Boston for the top AL wild card.<\/p>\n

Yankees outfielder Austin Slater<\/a> got the final two outs in the ninth, lobbing pitches as slowly as 36.4 mph.<\/p>\n

Jack Flaherty<\/a> (8-13) allowed two hits in five innings with seven strikeouts in his first win since Aug. 19.<\/p>\n

Carlos Rod\u00f3n (16-8), who had won his prior five starts, permitted two runs and six hits in six innings with six strikeouts.<\/p>\n

Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe<\/a>, hitting .173 (22 for 133) in his last 38 games, was out of the starting lineup, replaced by Jos\u00e9 Caballero.<\/p>\n

Tigers third baseman Zach McKinstry<\/a> missed his second straight game because of upper back stiffness.<\/p>\n

Key moment<\/p>\n

Torres lined a full-count, bases-loaded single into center field with two outs for a 2-0 lead in the fifth.<\/p>\n

Key stat<\/p>\n

New York had won seven of its previous eight series.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Yankees RHP Cam Schlittler<\/a> (2-3, 3.24 ERA) starts Thursday’s series finale, while RHP Sawyer Gipson-Long<\/a> (0-2, 5.59) will be a bulk pitcher for Detroit.<\/p>\n
