David Price struck out 10 in 8⅔ innings in his debut with the Tigers on Tuesday night in New York, but got a no-decision as Detroit beat the Yankees 4-3 in 12 innings in the Bronx.

Tuesday was the fifth game this season for Price with double-digit strikeouts and no walks. He leads the majors with 199 strikeouts on the season.
Price allowed solo home runs to Brian McCann and Martin Prado, the latter resulting in yet another terribly hilarious home run call by Yankees radio announcer John Sterling.
"Martin is keen. He is the Prado of the Yankees!" - The John Sterling HR call for Martin Prado.

Hiroki Kuroda was keeping in step with Price, and was beating him for a while, but the Tigers got a home run by Austin Romine in the sixth inning and an RBI single by Alex Avila in the seventh inning to tie the game at 3-3. Kuroda allowed three runs on six hits in his seven innings of work, with five strikeouts and no walks.
Tigers right fielder Torii Hunter left the game in the top of the ninth inning after getting hit by a 97-mph fastball from Dellin Betances. Detroit got relatively good news after the game.
Torii Hunter left tonight's game with a left hand contusion and X-rays were negative. #tigers

Yankees second baseman Brendan Ryan nearly lost this soft liner by Tigers left fielder J.D. Martinez, but Ryan stayed with it and finished with a barehanded stab.
