Detroit — The Oakland Athletics don’t lose at Comerica Park. True, they haven’t been here since 2019, but they haven’t lost here since 2016.
They posted their 12th consecutive win in Detroit on Tuesday night, pounding rookie lefty Tarik Skubal and the Tigers 9-3. It was the Tigers fourth straight loss and their first losing month (12-14) since April.
They’ve lost five straight and 23 of their last 24 against Oakland.
The A’s put up a pair of three-run frames against Skubal, both anchored by a two-run home run — a 424-foot blast by Matt Chapman in the third, and an opposite-field missile by Mark Canha in the fifth.
