The Detroit Tigers' scoreless streak ended after 28 innings.
Two runs in the fifth inning — creating activity in the run column for the first time since Saturday's third inning against the Houston Astros — jumpstarted the Tigers en route to a 6-0 win in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Oakland Athletics at Comerica Park.
The Tigers (9-20) snapped their six-game losing skid in the second of five matchups in the series with the Athletics. Left-hander Tarik Skubal pitched seven scoreless innings on 92 pitches, lowering his season-long ERA to 2.94 over six starts.
