May 25, 2025; Detroit, Michigan, USA; Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal (29) pitches first inning against the Cleveland Guardians at Comerica Park. Mandatory Credit: Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images Tarik Skubal tied his career high with 13 strikeouts in the first complete-game shutout of his career, lifting the Detroit Tigers to a 5-0 victory over the visiting Cleveland Guardians on Sunday.
Skubal (5-2), the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner, retired the first 15 batters he faced and gave up only two hits without issuing a walk. Skubal had never thrown a complete game in his previous 113 starts.
Zach McKinstry hit a two-run homer to spark a five-run fourth inning for the Tigers, who salvaged the finale of a four-game series with their Central Division rival. Detroit’s Gleyber Torres reached base three times, scored a run and knocked in one.
Cleveland’s Jose Ramirez extended his hitting streak to 18 games with a single in the seventh inning.
Guardians starter Logan Allen (2-3) gave up five runs (four earned) and six hits in 3 2/3 innings. Nic Enright, making his major league debut, struck out three in two scoreless innings of relief.
Detroit squandered a scoring opportunity in the second inning, leaving the bases loaded.
Allen walked Torres and Riley Greene in the third, but Spencer Torkelson bounced into a fielder’s choice to end the inning.
The floodgates opened in the fourth. Justyn-Henry Malloy reached on an infield single and scored on McKinstry’s two-run shot. McKinstry’s homer, his third of the season, came on a full count.
Javier Baez followed with a double and moved to third on a flyout. Torres’ double to left scored Baez, and Torres scored on Andy Ibanez’s single. Another throwing error by Allen on a Greene bouncer allowed Ibanez to score.
Will Wilson became the first Guardians baserunner when he ripped an opposite-field double to lead off the sixth. Nolan Jones was hit by a pitch with one out, but Skubal got out of trouble as Angel Martinez bounced into a double play.
Skubal struck out two in the seventh, fanning Kyle Manzardo with a 101-mph fastball. He set down Austin Hedges with a changeup to finish the eighth.
Skubal blew a 103-mph fastball past Gabriel Arias to complete the shutout.

Chelsea win Conference League with comeback win over Betis, become first club to win all three European cups
Getty Images Chelsea have become the first men's team to win all three major European competitions after defeating Real Betis 4-1 to win the UEFA Conference League on Tuesday in Poland. Betis went ahead only nine minutes into the match via winger Abdessamad Ezalzouli, but in the second half of play, Chelsea were able to hit back as Cole Palmer orchestrated two great goals, assisting Enzo Fernandez and Nicolas Jackson before the Blues scored twice more via Jadon Sancho and Moises Caicedo.

Getty Images New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns is listed as questionable for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Indiana Pacers due to a left knee contusion.Towns appeared to injure the knee after colliding with Indiana's Aaron Nesmith with 2:11 remaining in Game 4 on Tuesday night.
