DETROIT (AP) -- Max Scherzer pitched eight scoreless innings, and Magglio Ordonez homered for the first time this season to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 4-0 win over the New York Yankees on Wednesday night.

Ordonez has been in a horrendous slump to start the year, but he had two hits Wednesday, including a two-run homer in the third that gave the Tigers a four-run lead.

Detroit has won its last two since a seven-game losing streak.

Scherzer (5-0) allowed four hits and two walks.  He struck out nine.

Freddy Garcia (1-2) pitched seven-plus innings for the Yankees, allowing four runs on 10 hits.  He walked two and struck out eight.
