DETROIT -- Austin Bibens-Dirkx combined with the Rangers' bullpen to lock up the Tigers' offense in a 3-0 win on Sunday afternoon, earning Texas a split in the four-game series at Comerica Park.
Bibens-Dirkx faced the minimum 15 batters through five innings, getting help from his defense along the way. Isiah Kiner-Falefa caught JaCoby Jones trying to steal second in the first inning, and a 6-4-3 double play erased a leadoff single in the third inning.
The first time the Tigers got two runners on base was in the sixth inning with one out, and that's when Bibens-Dirkx was pulled.
