Tarik Skubal stars as the Tigers top the Cubs 3-1 in a matchup of division leaders
Skubal (6-2) allowed eight hits, struck out six and walked none in 7 2/3 innings. In his past 11 starts, the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner is 6-0 with a 1.61 ERA, 95 strikeouts and three walks.
Skubal left with runners on the corners, then had to wait out a dramatic moment. Seiya Suzuki lifted a deep flyball to right off Will Vest, but Kerry Carpenter reached above the wall to keep Detroit in front.
Vest got four outs for his 10th save.
Cubs right-hander Ben Brown (3-4) permitted two runs and seven hits in seven innings.
Spencer Torkelson and Jahmai Jones homered for the AL Central-leading Tigers.
The Tigers jumped in front in the fifth on an RBI single by Gleyber Torres, but the NL Central-leading Cubs responded with Kyle Tucker’s run-scoring double in the sixth. That ended Skubal’s scoreless streak at 20 innings, matching his career high.
Torkelson made it 2-1 when he connected for his 15th homer in the bottom half. Jones went deep in the eighth in his Tigers debut, belting a pinch-hit drive off Génesis Cabrera.
The game, attended by a large contingent of Cubs fans, drew a crowd of 40,132 for the third sellout at Comerica Park this season.
He quickly realized it was too late and tried to get back to the bag, but Javier Báez’s relay throw to third was in time.
