DETROIT — Following a weekend in which the Yankees failed to take advantage of playing a bad team, they’ve won two straight against the Tigers.

They used another strong outing from Luis Severino and a go-ahead single by Isiah Kiner-Falefa in the seventh inning to beat the Tigers, 5-3, Wednesday night at Comerica Park.

The Yankees are still waiting for the offensive explosion, but they did enough — and Detroit made enough mistakes — to pick up the win.

The Tigers took the lead in the second inning, when Jeimer Candelario led off with a double against Severino. He moved to third on an infield single by Miguel Cabrera, and Detroit was set up with runners on the corners and no one out.

Victor Reyes followed with a single to right that drove in Candelario to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead, but Cabrera was tagged out at third thanks to a strong throw from Giancarlo Stanton.

Reyes was caught stealing by Kyle Higashioka for the second out, and Severino escaped more damage by getting Harold Castro to ground out.

The Yankees went ahead in the third against Eduardo Rodriguez. Kiner-Falefa opened the frame with a double to left and Higashioka walked.

After Aaron Hicks lined out sharply to first, Aaron Judge doubled to left, driving in Kiner-Falefa to tie the score and send Higashioka to third.

A slow roller from Anthony Rizzo knocked in Higashioka to put the Yankees ahead, 2-1, before Stanton struck out looking.

Severino protected the lead, barely, in the fourth. The Tigers loaded the bases with one out on another single by Cabrera, a hit by Reyes and a walk to Torekelson before Severino got a lineout to short by Castro, then struck out Torkelson.

Severino threw 88 pitches in his five inning — a solid, and necessary, outing after the Yankees’ bullpen tossed 7 ¹/₃ scoreless innings in relief of Gerrit Cole on Tuesday.

The Yankees added to their advantage with one out in the sixth, when Rizzo hit his fourth homer of the season, this one to right field.

But the Tigers tied it up against Chad Green in the bottom of the sixth.

Candelario led off with a single and Cabrera followed with one of his own — hit No. 2,999 for his career — to open the inning before Green retired the next two batters. Castro delivered a two-out, two-run double to left-center to make it 3-3.

The Yankees went up again in the seventh.

Drew Hutchison replaced Eduardo Rodriguez and walked Josh Donaldson, who was replaced by pinch-runner Tim Locastro.

Torres bunted back to Hutchison, who threw wildly to second, allowing Locastro to get to third.

With runners on the corners, Kiner-Falefa continued his hot hitting with an RBI single to center.

Higashioka bunted both runners over, but Hicks popped up to shallow center and Judge grounded out.

The Yankees got an insurance run in the eighth after a leadoff double by Rizzo, who stole third and scored on a DJ LeMahieu fielder’s choice.

Aroldis Chapman came on and picked up a save for a second straight night.
