The Detroit Tigers saw their six-game winning streak snapped on Friday night by the Boston Red Sox, 1-0, in a genuine pitcher’s duel that required an extra inning to determine the winner. Casey Mize looked great for the Motor City Kitties, but the offense could not break through against Ranger Suarez and Aroldis Chapman.
The second game of the four-game series takes place on Saturday afternoon, with Tigers ace Tarik Skubal taking the mound. The last time Detroit’s southpaw faced the Sox was May 14, 2025, when he went 6 1/3 innings, giving up five runs on seven hits (one home run) and a walk while striking out 11 in a 6-5 team win.
Boston sends out Brayan Bello, who last faced the Olde English D a day before the aforementioned Skubal outing, giving up three runs (two earned) on six hits (one home run) and two walks along with four strikeouts over 4 2/3 frames in a 10-9 11-inning Sox loss.
