The Detroit Tigers’ six-game win streak came to an end on Saturday evening at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-2, inside Comerica Park. Casey Mize just did not have it this time around, and while Eduardo Valencia continued to prove that he belongs in the big leagues, the offense just could not get anything going against Cristopher Sánchez,
On Sunday afternoon, the Old English D looks to seize its fourth-straight series win heading into the All-Star break with perennial All-Star left-hander Tarik Skubal taking the mound. The 29-year-old has posted a 1.64 ERA and 3.02 FIP over his last two starts, including a five-inning, one-run effort last time out at home against the Athletics, which resulted in his fifth win of the season in a 6-2 final.
The Tigers will once again have their hands full as the Phillies send another tough pitcher, right-hander Zack Wheeler, to the bump seeking a series win of their own. The 36-year-old’s last outing at the Cincinnati Reds earned him his 10th quality start of 2026, throwing seven frames of one-run ball on four hits (one home run) while striking out a season-high 14 batters en route to his ninth win in a 4-1 final.
