Tarik Skubal allowed one run in eight innings and struck out eight to become the fourth Detroit left-hander with 200 strikeouts in a season.
Skubal's performance was called fitting for the night celebrating the 1984 World Series, as he pitched the deepest he's ever gone in a game.
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch described Skubal as a special player who has anchored the staff, showcasing dominance, low hits, and impressive strikeout numbers.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora acknowledged Skubal's talent and hinted at the need to win the series, showing respect for Skubal's Cy Young potential.
