TAMPA — One last exhibition game before the Yankees head north for Opening Day.

New York will host the Detroit Tigers at George M. Steinbrenner Field Monday afternoon, one final tune-up as Grapefruit League play comes to a close.

To get you set for first pitch, here are the starting lineups, scheduled pitchers and some related reading.

New York Yankees

DJ LeMahieu 2B

Gleyber Torres SS

Aaron Hicks CF

Giancarlo Stanton DH

Gio Urshela 3B

Jay Bruce 1B

Clint Frazier RF

Gary Sánchez C

Brett Gardner LF

Domingo Germán SP

Germán won the fifth spot in the Yankees' starting rotation with a magnificent spring and he'll look to build with one more strong outing before he starts Game 3 of the season next weekend.

This is as close to the complete starting lineup that we've seen ... except there's no Aaron Judge. Brett Gardner gets the start in his place. Don't think this is a reason to panic. Judge was listed on New York's workout schedule to take batting practice Monday morning. He's probably just resting up before Opening Day, but we'll continue to monitor the situation.

Detroit Tigers

Victor Reyes RF

Daz Cameron CF

Jeimer Candelario 3B

Miguel Cabrera 1B

Jonathan Schoop DH

Harold Castro SS

Wilson Ramos C

Isaac Paredes 2B

Akil Baddoo LF

José Ureña SP

New York has gone 14-11 up to this point with two ties.

LIVE UPDATES

First pitch has been pushed back just a bit, to 1:15 p.m. ET. The tarp was on the field earlier for some rain in the area, but the field is being manicured for the game as we speak.

First inning

Giancarlo Stanton puts the Yankees in front 1-0 with a bullet of an RBI double off the top of the left-field wall. The double scored Gleyber Torres, who walked earlier in the frame.

Second inning

Germán gives up a run for the first time this spring, allowing a two-run blast to Tigers youngster Akil Baddoo. This one landed on the concourse beyond the bleachers in right field. 

Fourth inning

Miguel Cabrera goes oppo taco off Chad Green for a three-run home run. It's a 5-1 game. Darren O'Day comes in to relieve Green after the homer.

Seventh inning

Score is still 5-1 here at George M. Steinbrenner Field as the starters begin to come out of this game. 

Eighth inning

Thairo Estrada continues to show his power this spring. He homers to deep left, his second in as many days after going deep on Sunday in Clearwater. It's his third long ball of the spring.

Ninth inning

FINAL: Yankees 2, Tigers 5

New York falls in this one, putting together just four scattered base hits against Detroit (including the one home run from Estrada).

That'll do it for spring training! Next time we see the Yankees take the field, it'll be Thursday afternoon against the Blue Jays on Opening Day at Yankee Stadium. 

Until then, thank you for following along this spring with these live threads and we'll see you right back here during the regular season!
