Detroit Tigers vs. Athletics: Game Highlights

One day after Tarik Skubal to the Los Angeles Dodgers for three prospects, the Tigers responded with their third straight win to remain within 2 1/2 games of the last wild-card spot in the AL.

Spencer Torkelson hit a two-run double in the first inning against Gage Jump (4-7) to stake Montero to the early lead. Gleyber Torres added a two-run single and Valencia had a two-run double in the fourth inning to break the game open. Valencia added a two-run double in a four-run eighth.

Montero (8-6) allowed just two hits and two walks.

The Tigers followed up a three-game sweep at home in early July against the A's by winning all three games this weekend to finish the season series 6-0 for their first sweep ever against an AL team. This marked the fifth time the A's went winless against an AL foe with it last happening when they went 0-6 against Toronto in 2019.

Jump struggled to find the strike zone as he was unable to build on the six scoreless innings he threw Tuesday to beat Boston and snap a five-start losing streak. He walked six batters and allowed six runs in 3 2/3 innings.

The final four-plus innings were played with only three umpires after home plate ump Jeremie Rehak left the game after taking a foul ball off his mask. Second base umpire Adam Beck took over behind the plate.

Up next Tigers: Detroit opens a series on Tuesday in Seattle and won't know the pitching rotation until after the trade deadline.

Athletics: RHP J.T. Ginn (8-6, 3.46 ERA) is expected to come off the injured list for a blister to start the series opener Tuesday at Cincinnati.
