DETROIT >> Tarik Skubal struck out 13 hitters in seven innings and the Detroit Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins 3-0 on Sunday night.

Skubal (10-2) only allowed one hit — a clean single to right by Ty France in the fifth inning — as he improved to 10-0 with a 1.74 ERA in his last 15 starts. The last double-digit streak in one season by a Detroit lefty was Earl Whitehill’s 11-start stretch in 1930.

The strikeouts matched Skubal’s career high, last done on May 25 in his 94-pitch shutout against the Guardians.

Chris Paddack (3-7) gave up three runs in 4.2 innings for the Twins.

The Tigers took a 1-0 lead on Kerry Carpenter’s solo homer in the first inning, and he added a RBI triple in the fifth before leaving the game with an apparent leg injury. Riley Greene hit a solo homer in the fourth.

Will Vest pitched the ninth to pick up his 13th save.

Key stat

Skubal is 5-0 in June, making him the third Tigers pitcher to be 4-0 or better in the month in the last 25 years. The other two, Justin Verlander in 2011 and Max Scherzer in 2013, each won the American League Cy Young Award.
