Nathan Eovaldi tossed seven shutout innings, Marcus Semien and Josh Jung hit two-run home runs and the Texas Rangers beat the Detroit Tigers 6-1 on Sunday. Eovaldi (4-2) limited the Tigers to two hits and a walk while striking out seven in his fifth consecutive quality start.

The Tigers lost, 6-1, to the Texas Rangers for their first home series defeat in 2025, but they still have the AL's best record.

“Tarik Skubal of the Tigers is the only MLB pitcher to have 50+ strikeouts, no more than 1 walk, and an ERA under 1.00 over a 6-start span (since ERA became an official stat in both leagues in 1913).”

The Detroit Tigers have been one of the surprises of the MLB season, and now rank highly according to many expert's power rankings.

Skubal recorded those 12 strikeouts Friday thanks to an incredible 32 swings and misses. That's 32 swings and misses on 96 total pitches, so exactly one-third of his pitches were whiffs, and only 59 swings.
