Triston McKenzie has historically dominated the Tigers.
The righty had matched up against Detroit five times in his career leading into Thursday night's game, allowing just four runs and punching out 37 in 30 2/3 innings of work.
And in Detroit's 4-0 loss to the Guardians, McKenzie tossed eight scoreless frames, striking out a career-best 12 and walking none.
Only two Tigers, Miguel Cabrera and Spencer Torkelson, didn't strike out at the hands of McKenzie. Riley Greene's nine-game streak of getting on base was also ended.
It's just the second time in their previous 26 games the Tigers were kept off the scoreboard.
