Tigers drop rubber match to Phillies in last game before All-Star break.
It went as advertised for a while.
On the final day before the MLB’s mid-summer break, the two best pitchers not selected to the All-Star Game put on a show on a glorious Sunday at Comerica Park.
Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler and Tigers ace Tarik Skubal dueled for five innings in the rubber match of the three-game series. But the battle ended too soon for Skubal.

Detroit Tigers hitters found themselves on the wrong side of a dominant outing from a
Philadelphia Phillies starter for the second straight day.
Tiger bats had nothing to offer against right-hander Zack Wheeler, who delivered six dominant, shutout innings to down the Tigers, 5-0, in the series finale at Comerica Park on Sunday, July 12. On Saturday, the Tigers threatened but
could not deliver the big hit against left-handed All-Star starter Christopher Sánchez.

Tigers’ hot stretch cools with second straight loss to Phillies.
The Detroit Tigers were worried about losing momentum during the All-Star break. They can only hope they didn’t lose it before the break began.
The Tigers did little on offense and endured a brutal sixth inning in a 5-0 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday afternoon at Comerica Park.
Detroit (44-52) had won nine of 10 games before dropping two straight to the Phillies (54-43) to end the first part of the season on a sour note.
