NEW YORK — Juan Soto hit a three-run double that snapped a seventh-inning tie and the New York Yankees beat the Detroit Tigers 5-2 to finish a weekend sweep with a rain-shortened win. Aaron Judge homered early for New York off Tarik Skubal, who struck out a career-best 12 in six innings. The game was called following a 56-minute delay in the middle of the eighth after the teams played through steady showers much of the day. New York loaded the bases against reliever Shelby Miller in the seventh before Soto lined Andrew Chafin's sinker down the right-field line to break a 2-all tie. Victor González got the win and Dennis Santana earned his second save. The Yankees improved to a season-high 10 games over .500.
