It may be difficult for the New York Yankees to avoid their first three-game losing streak with Javier Vazquez on the mound. The struggling Vazquez makes his first start in 10 days Tuesday night when the Yankees try to end the Detroit Tigers’ six-game home win streak. New York has lost back-to-back games for the third time this year after falling 5-4 in Monday’s opener of this four-game set. Bouncing back behind Vazquez won’t be easy. Acquired from Atlanta in the offseason for his second stint with the Yankees, Vazquez gave up eight runs in his season debut April 9 at Tampa Bay and hasn’t been much better since. He allowed five runs over three-plus innings May 1 and did not get a decision in a 7-6 loss to the White Sox. Manager Joe Girardi decided not to pitch Vazquez this past weekend in what would have been a scheduled start at Boston.

Vazquez threw a pair of side sessions during his time off. The Yankees want him to improve on his lack of control, which has resulted in 15 walks in 23 innings. Vazquez is 2-5 with a 6.09 ERA in seven career starts at Comerica Park. The right-hander has fared well against Tigers slugger Magglio Ordonez, but not versus Miguel Cabrera. New York saw a familiar face contribute to its loss Monday as Johnny Damon homered in his first game against the team that didn’t re-sign him. Damon helped the Yankees win the World Series last year for the first time since 2000 in the final season of his $52 million, four-year contract. He initially wanted a long-term deal at the same average salary, but New York lowered its offers. The Yankees took on a bigger salary when they acquired center fielder Curtis Granderson, currently on the disabled list, from the Tigers.Detroit improved to 10-3 at home - second in the AL to New York’s 10-2 mark - as rookie Brennan Boesch drove in three runs. Boesch has 10 RBIs in five home games.
