Skubal twirls gem and Vierling lifts Tigers over Rangers 2-1 to stop 6-game slide
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Matt Vierling hit a tiebreaking single with two outs in the eighth inning and the Detroit Tigers snapped a season-worst six-game losing streak by beating the Texas Rangers 2-1 on Sunday night. Vierling's base hit up the middle off Chris Martin (1-6) scored Gleyber Torres after the Rangers finally got something going against Tigers ace Tarik Skubal in the seventh. Skubal, the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner and starter in last Tuesday's All-Star Game, was cruising with a two-hit shutout heading into the seventh. He left with runners at the corners and two outs, and Adolis García scored on a wild pitch by Tyler Holton (5-3). Will Vest entered in the eighth and got four straight outs for his 16th save. Skubal struck out 11 and walked none on 105 pitches in his seventh double-digit strikeout game this season. Zach McKinstry singled home Wenceel Pérez in the second for Detroit's first run. Texas left-hander Jacob Latz allowed six hits and two walks over five innings in his third start this year and the fourth of his 72 big league appearances. Latz pitched in place of Nathan Eovaldi, who reported back tightness Saturday. Corey Seager, the lone left-handed batter in the starting lineup against the left-handed Skubal, had the first two hits off him. Seager extended his on-base streak to 21 games, the longest active run in the American League. Key moment Vierling singled on a full-count fastball in the eighth to give Detroit a 2-1 lead. Key stat The Tigers had nine hits after totaling seven while losing the first two games of the series. Up next Tigers RHP Jack Flaherty (5-9, 4.65 ERA) seeks his first win since June 8 on Monday at Pittsburgh against NL All-Star Game starter Paul Skenes (4-8, 2.01). Rangers rookie RHP Jack Leiter (5-6, 4.37) faces Athletics LHP Jacob Lopez (3-5, 4.20) at home on Monday. ___ AP MLB:

Best In Show Tigers Receive Reinforcements Ahead Of Holiday Weekend

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Detroit Tigers have the best record in Major League Baseball and enter the weekend leading the American League Central by 9 1/2 games, and they just got stronger. Outfielder Matt Vierling has been battling shoulder issues since spring training, but he was reinstated ahead of Saturday's contest against the Minnesota Twins, according to Jason Beck of CLEVELAND, OHIO - OCTOBER 07: Matt Vierling #8 of the Detroit Tigers hits a double in the eighth inning against the Cleveland Guardians during Game Two of the Division Series at Progressive Field on October... CLEVELAND, OHIO - OCTOBER 07: Matt Vierling #8 of the Detroit Tigers hits a double in the eighth inning against the Cleveland Guardians during Game Two of the Division Series at Progressive Field on October 07, 2024 in Cleveland, Ohio More Photo byVierling missed 51 games at the start of the season after suffering a right rotator cuff muscle strain in Spring Training before returning for four games on May 23. Vierling would later head back to the injured list with right shoulder inflammation. Vierling is set to return to the field and play centerfield on Saturday for the Tigers after playing seven games with Triple-A Toledo in a rehab assignment. Vierling's rehab assignment got a little sidetracked when the outfielder missed time with a stomach bug, but he is cleared to return to the Major League lineup. The Tigers have been experimenting with multiple options at both third base and center field during Vierling's absence, with Javier Baez getting the bulk of games in center and Zach McKinstry manning the hot corner. With the trade deadline approaching, Vierling's return could sway the balance in the area of the team that the Tigers decide to target first with many media outlets speculating they will try to move for a third baseman. Vierling and Baez could temper trade expectations for a new third baseman in the Motor City. More MLB: MLB Insiders List Orioles All-Star Outfielder Probable To Be Traded At Deadline
