"Tarik Skubal extended his franchise record by pitching seven scoreless innings and the Detroit Tigers ended the visiting Chicago White Sox's six-game winning streak with a 6-0 shutout Saturday. Skubal has 12 starts this season in which he pitched at least six innings and allowed no runs, two more than previous record-holder Denny McLain notched in 1969. Skubal held the White Sox to two hits and one walk while striking out six. Skubal saw his season ERA drop to 2.10."
"Leading off the bottom of the first, Jones gave Detroit the lead on the first pitch he saw. He smashed a Perez cutter over the left field wall. The Tigers had runners in scoring position later in the first but Andy Ibanez flew out to end the inning. Detroit stretched its lead to 6-0 in the fourth. Riley Greene sparked the big inning with an infield single. Ibanez drew a walk and, one out later, McKinstry blooped a double to left, allowing Greene to score."
