Overview
- The Detroit Tigers won 4-3 at Comerica Park after Kerry Carpenter’s two-out, two-run bloop double in the sixth provided the go-ahead runs.
- Tarik Skubal made his second start since a NanoScope procedure, throwing 5 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on seven hits with one walk and striking out eight on 94 pitches.
- Skubal exchanged heated words with injured White Sox reliever Mike Vasil after striking out Colson Montgomery to end the fifth inning, prompting a conference among the four umpires but no ejections.
- Detroit’s bullpen preserved the win with Drew Anderson getting four outs and Kenley Jansen closing for his eighth save of the season and the 484th of his career.
- The outing renewed concerns about Skubal’s short-term durability and the Tigers’ larger injury-plagued roster, issues that feed speculation he could become a trade asset if Detroit falls out of contention.
