Tarik Skubal outduels Ranger Suarez as Philadelphia Phillies lose to Detroit Tigers

Tarik Skubal struck out seven batters in seven scoreless innings as the Detroit Tigers beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 on Tuesday night.

Skubal (9-3) allowed three hits and a walk while hitting one batter.

Andy Ibáñez had two hits, including a two-run single in Detroit’s four-run fifth inning, as the Tigers ended a seven-game losing streak to the Phillies.

Bryce Harper homered off Tigers closer Jason Foley in the ninth.

The game was expected to be a pitcher’s duel between probable All-Stars — Skubal and Ranger Suárez.

Suárez (10-2) held Detroit scoreless for four innings but gave up four runs in the fifth.

Philadelphia, which had won its last three games by a combined 24-3, had the best chance to score before the Tigers broke through.

Harper’s double gave the Phillies runners on second and third with two out in the third, but Skubal retired Alec Bohm on a grounder to second.
