Overview

• Detroit built a 3-0 lead in the sixth on a Gleyber Torres solo homer and a two-run double by Wenceel Pérez.
• With the bases loaded after two strikeouts in the seventh, Shea Langeliers launched his second career grand slam for a 6-3 Oakland lead.
• Skubal worked 6 2/3 innings and allowed six runs with only one earned, striking out 12 with no walks for his 10th double-digit strikeout game.
• Zach McKinstry’s error at shortstop extended the inning, all five runs were unearned, and the slam was the first Skubal has allowed in his career.
• Colby Thomas began the rally with a solo homer and rookie Nick Kurtz added a two-run pinch-hit shot in the eighth; next up is Charlie Morton vs. Osvaldo Bido, with Oakland riding six straight wins against left-handed starters.
