Game two of a four-game series between the Rangers and Tigers in Detroit was delayed a couple of hours due to thunderstorms in the area. That didn’t matter to the Tigers, though. They won their fifth straight game with a 4-1 victory built on fantastic pitching, good defense, and some solid, but mostly unspectacular, hitting to gradually add enough runs for a rather comfortable victory despite the score.
The pitching matchup was Dane Dunning for the Texans and Tarik Skubal for the Michiganders. Dunning, a former Florida Gator, came up with the White Sox last year and had seven starts, posted a sub-4.
