NEW YORK, July 18 (UPI) -- CC Sabathia held Detroit scoreless through seven innings Saturday, helping the New York Yankees edge the Tigers 2-1.

New York scored its runs on a solo homer by Alex Rodriguez and Melky Cabrera's infield RBI single in the seventh. The 18th homer by Rodriguez broke up a scoreless contest leading off the bottom of the seventh.
