Andy Dirks connected on a three-run homer in the first inning, which was enough to lead the Tigers to a 7-5 victory over the Yankees in New York on Saturday. Dirks, getting the start in left field in place of Delmon Young, finished the game 1-for-4. He also made several nice defensive plays to support Drew Smyly in the game. He's off to a strong start to the season, hitting .290 (9-for-31) with five RBI. When he's receiving consistent playing time, he can be a valuable asset as a fourth or fifth outfielder in deeper mixed leagues.
