Nunez hit by pitch, leaves game

DETROIT -- The already injury-depleted New York Yankees suffered another loss Friday when Eduardo Nunez, already filling in for the injured Derek Jeter at shortstop, was forced to leave the game against the Tigers after being hit with a pitch in the fourth inning by Doug Fister.
