    Scott Sizemore must have wondered what all the fuss was about.

    In his first game back with Detroit, the Tigers looked nothing like the sinking team that hadn't won in over a week.

    Sizemore had three hits, and slumping teammates Austin Jackson and Magglio Ordonez added two apiece to help Detroit snap a seven-game losing streak with a 4-2 win over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night.

    "That's always what you're looking to do -- contribute early on," said Sizemore, who was called up from Triple-A Toledo to try to bolster the top of the Tigers' struggling lineup. "That's a pretty good start for the 1-2-3 in the lineup."

    Sizemore hit .224 in limited duty with Detroit last year, and he failed to win the second base job during spring training this season. But he was hitting .408 with Toledo when the Tigers decided to give him another chance.
