Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal emerged from the dugout to pitch in a ninth inning for the first time in the majors, triggering a roar and standing ovation from the Comerica Park crowd as men, women and children chanted his name.

Tarik Skubal made history on Sunday. The Tigers right-hander and defending American League Cy Young award winner became the first pitcher in MLB history to throw a nine-inning, complete-game shutout while striking out at least 13 batters in less than 100 pitches.

Tarik Skubal gave up two hits and matched a career high with 13 strikeouts in his first complete game, Zach McKinstry had a two-run homer in a five-run fourth inning and Detroit beat Cleveland 5-0 Sunday to avoid a four-game sweep.
