The Detroit Tigers hadn't lost more than three games in a row — until this skid. "We were the last team to lose four games in a row," A.J. Hinch said.

The Detroit Tigers entered Sunday night's game in Texas on a six-game losing streak and needed their ace, Tarik Skubal, to step up and help put a stop to it. He did exactly that.

Tarik Skubal is still in Triple Crown territory (leading one's league in wins, ERA and strikeouts) and the Tigers are back in the win column after the lefty dominated the Rangers in a 2-1 victory Sunday at Globe Life Field.

Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers look to bring an end to a six-game losing streak and avoid a series sweep with a Sunday night first pitch against the Texas Rangers.

The Tigers (59-40) have now lost six in a row, their longest skid since they lost nine in a row from June 2-11, 2023. The Rangers (50-49) climbed above .500 for the first time since May 20, when they were 25-24.

Corey Seager hit a two-run double with two outs in the eighth inning and the Texas Rangers finally got back to .500 with a 2-0 victory over Detroit on Friday night that extended the MLB-best Tigers' season-worst losing streak to five.

The Detroit Tigers fell in some MLB power rankings following a four-game losing streak entering the All-Star break.

The Detroit Tigers will try to snap their longest losing streak of the season on Saturday night in Arlington, Texas. The Tigers (59-39) and Rangers (49-49) meet at 7:05 p.m. Eastern time at Globe Life Park. The Tigers have lost five in a row for the first time since a five-game skid from July 28-Aug. 2 of last year.
