“‘I’m amazed,” is the way Bruce Bochy, a guy with so much experience in 50 years of baseball, it’s physically impossible to amaze him, put it Saturday.

Keider Montero got the start for the Tigers, his first since July 7th (he did a bad spot of relief on July 12th). His previous start was a 6 inning, 1 run success against the Rays. The Rangers couldn’t do anything in the first, grounding out twice and ending with a Marcus Semien swinging strikeout on a nasty pitch.

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.

Kumar Rocker took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and Rowdy Tellez hit a three-run home run in his second game with the Rangers as Texas beat the slumping Detroit Tigers 4-1.

Skubal, who beat the Rangers in Detroit in May, is 10-3 and is third in the majors in ERA (2.23), second in strikeouts per nine innings (11.38) and sixth in innings pitched (122). He was the AL starter for Tuesday’s All-Star Game.

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.
