The Tigers slammed the door on the Guardians 3-0 at Comerica Park, and this one belongs in the history books! Keider Montero was masterful, running his mark to 9-7 with three-hit ball into the seventh and just a single walk over 6 1/3 innings, and Tyler Holton followed with 1 2/3 strong before Kenley Jansen nailed down his 15th save in a perfect ninth. Dillon Dingler pushed across the game's first run with an RBI groundout in the third, Eduardo Valencia sailed his fifth homer of the season into the left-field seats, and Spencer Torkelson capped it with a one-run single in the eighth. Here's the part that makes this special: Detroit became the first team to blank an opponent without a strikeout since Rick Porcello did it to the Athletics on July 1, 2014 — a feat pulled off just seven times since 2000. In front of 31,777, Detroit took the series 2-1 and snapped Steven Kwan's 27-game on-base streak along the way. Now Jackson Jobe and his spotless 0.00 ERA open against the White Sox on Friday.
