NEW YORK — Shane Greene capped a series of fine starting pitching, working into the ninth inning and then watching closer David Robertson get pinch-hitter Miguel Cabrera to ground into a double play as the New York Yankees edged the Detroit Tigers 1-0 on Thursday.

Robertson relieved after Ian Kinsler’s leadoff single and walked Victor Martinez. But he induced Cabrera’s bouncer and Don Kelly’s soft liner to shortstop for New York’s fifth win in six games.

Stephen Drew’s RBI double was the game’s only extra-base hit.
