Overview

• Tarik Skubal delivered a two-hit, 13-strikeout shutout in just 94 pitches, achieving the rare 'Maddux' feat and setting a record for most strikeouts in such a performance.
• The Tigers' five-run fourth inning, highlighted by Zach McKinstry's two-run homer, provided all the offense needed to clinch the victory.
• Skubal's final pitch, a 102.6 mph fastball, was the fastest strikeout pitch by a starting pitcher in the ninth inning since pitch tracking began in 2008.
• The win helped Detroit avoid a sweep by Cleveland and maintain a four-game lead in the American League Central division standings.
• Skubal became the first pitcher in Tigers history to throw a complete game with no walks, two or fewer hits, and 13 strikeouts, earning a standing ovation from the crowd before the ninth inning.
