The Detroit Tigers hit four home runs and Tarik Skubal outdueled fellow ace Zack Wheeler in a 7-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. The Tigers (65-47) and Phillies (62-48) have split the first two games of the series and will play the rubber match in a nationally televised game on Sunday night.

Tarik Skubal won his first game since June and Javier Baez homered, doubled and knocked in four runs as the Tigers beat the Phillies 7-5.

With Tarik Skubal warming up just a few feet above Zack Wheeler, fans milling around the center-field bullpens at Citizens Bank Park on Saturday afternoon were treated to a behind-the-scenes look at two Cy Young candidates.
