In the rubber match from Cleveland, the Detroit Tigers built a surprising lead and were able to stave off a ninth inning comeback by the Indians to take home a 7-4 victory.
Tarik Skubal took on Carlos Carrasco in his second major league start, and while he again wasn’t able to eat innings, showcased an impressive fastball that dominated most Cleveland hitters. The offense woke up for a complete performance, tallying 13 hits and three home runs, making for one of the better all around victories of the season. The Tigers ended another streak on Sunday as well, snapping a series losing streak of seven to Cleveland that dated all the way back to September of 2018.
