Johnny Podres (3-2) picked up the win after pitching 6+ innings and giving up three runs.
Mickey Stanley, who made his first career start at first base, slammed a two-run homer (2) in the second inning to highlight a three-run frame that opened the scoring.
The Tigers, led by Podres and relievers Dave Wickersham and Fred Gladding, kept the Yankees at arm's length in snapping a three-game losing streak.
The Tigers bats harassed Yankees starter Fritz Peterson with five runs and eight hits in five innings of work by the lefty.
New York, after trailing 6-1, made the score 6-4 in the eighth inning on a solo home run by Mickey Mantle, but the Tigers (36-30) added two insurance runs in the ninth inning on a Don Wert triple and an Al Kaline double.
Willie Horton had two sacrifice flies for the Tigers.
