In an extremely rare feat, the Tigers pitched a shutout on Thursday afternoon by not recording a strikeout.

@UnderdogMLB wrote (on 8/13): “Tigers beat the Guardians 3-0 on Thursday while recording 0 strikeouts. First time since 2014 that a team has allowed 0 runs without striking out a single opposing batter.”

After the win, the Tigers officially hold a playoff spot in the American League… with a 60-61 record.
Keider Montero started the game for the Tigers. He pitched 6.1 scoreless (obviously) innings and surrendered three hits with one walk.
After Montero, Tyler Holton came in relief, and he pitched 1.2 innings while allowing one hit (again, no strikeouts).
And finally, Kenley Jansen recorded the save with one inning pitched… again, no strikeouts.
