DETROIT (AP) --- Tarik Skubal outpitched Sandy Alcntara in a matchup of Cy
Young Award winners, Dillon Dingler, Kevin McGonigle and Kerry Carpenter
homered and the Detroit Tigers earned a three-game sweep with an 8-2 win over
the Miami Marlins on Sunday.
Detroit has bounced back from a stretch of losing nine of 11 with its
three-game winning streak.
Skubal retired the first nine batters he faced and the two-time reigning AL Cy
Young winner had a no-hit bid broken up by Austin Slater's bloop single with
two outs in the sixth.
Skubal (2-2) allowed a run and a season-low two hits with seven strikeouts in 6
2/3 innings.
Alcntara (2-1) allowed seven runs and 10 hits after allowing a total of two
earned runs and 10 hits over his first three starts of the year.
The 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner allowed Dingler's three-run homer in the
first inning.
McGonigle hit his first career homer in the fifth inning to make it 4-0 and
Carpenter added a two-run homer run in a three-run sixth inning.
Miami's Otto Lopez had a sacrifice fly in the seventh to drive in Jakob Marsee
and added a solo homer in the ninth.
The Marlins dropped to .500 with their seventh loss in 10 games.
Up next
Miami RHP Eury Perez (1-1, 5.06 ERA) opens a series at Atlanta on Monday night
when the Braves' Grant Holmes (1-1, 2.55) makes a scheduled start.
Detroit is off Monday before hosting Kansas City on Tuesday. LHP Framber Valdez
(1-1, 4.76) and Kansas City LHP Cole Ragans (0-3, 5.93) are the scheduled
starters.
