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 (13-4) has 12 starts this season in which he has 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.
Tommy Kahnle and Rafael Montero pitched the eighth and ninth, respectively, to complete the shutout.
Gleyber Torres delivered the big blow on offense, a three-run homer to cap the Tigers' five-run fourth. Jahmai Jones had a solo homer and scored two runs for the American League Central-leading Tigers (82-61). Zach
