Overview
- Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said tests on Tarik Skubal’s left side were negative and the ace remains on track to take his next turn, tentatively slated for Thursday against Cleveland.
- Detroit halted a three-game skid with a 2-0 win Sunday in Miami, with Keider Montero delivering five scoreless innings before José Urquidy, Tommy Kahnle and Will Vest closed it out.
- Both Tigers runs came in the second inning on a rare three-error sequence followed by a Dillon Dingler RBI single, while Marlins rookie Adam Mazur allowed just one hit over six frames.
- The victory followed Saturday’s 6-4, 11-inning loss decided by Marlins rookie Troy Johnston’s two-run walk-off, which had trimmed Detroit’s cushion in the division.
- Shortstop Javier Báez, who fouled a ball off his forehead Friday, cleared concussion protocol and is day-to-day as Detroit enters a final stretch that includes six head-to-head games with the Guardians.
