Overview

• Skubal allowed one hit and no runs over seven innings in the Tigers’ 1-0 victory over the Twins, tying his career high with 13 strikeouts.
• He became the first pitcher in franchise history with at least 13 strikeouts and no more than one hit in a game, joining Randy Johnson, Sandy Koufax and Chris Sale as the only left-handers with multiple such starts in a season.
• The outing dropped Skubal’s ERA to 2.15 and extended his major-league lead to 138 strikeouts, bolstering his bid for a second AL Cy Young Award.
• Outfielder Kerry Carpenter exited Sunday’s game after reaggravating a recurring hamstring injury and is scheduled for an MRI on Monday to assess his condition.
• The Tigers improved to 53-22 on the season and will look to sustain Skubal’s dominance while managing Carpenter’s health for their postseason push.
