Phil Hughes hadn’t won in over a year. The Yankees came in losers of four straight.
Together, Hughes and the Bronx Bombers remedied both of those slumps Tuesday night. Both came to a decisive end at Comerica Park as Hughes pitched six scoreless innings in his first start of the season and Jose Molina’s grand slam highlighted a 10-run seventh inning in an 11-0 Yankee thumping of the Tigers.
“It’s a good feeling,” Hughes said. “I didn’t have one of those all year, so to get one in the first start is kind of nice. We needed a win to get back on track.”
Hughes was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre earlier in the afternoon, replacing injured right-hander Chien-Ming Wang.
The Yankees will try and make it two straight tonight when they send Joba Chamberlain to the hill in the third and final game of their series with Detroit.
