After two days of football-like scores, the Detroit Tigers finished the weekend by winning with pitching.
The Tigers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1 Sunday afternoon to finish a three-game sweep at PNC Park.
The Tigers (8-5) had only four hits after scoring 28 runs over the last two games. The Pirates (3-13) managed only one run off Tigers’ starter Spencer Turnbull, who pitched seven innings.
Relievers Buck Farmer and Joe Jimenez pitched scoreless eighth and ninth innings.
The Tigers scored their go-ahead run in the eighth, when Pirates reliever Richard Rodriguez hit Jonathan Schoop with a pitch, then launched a wild pitch well behind Miguel Cabrera when his spike caught on the dirt as he released the ball. Schoop advanced to second and scored on Cabrera’s RBI single.
This weekend marked the Tigers’ first road sweep since June 15-17, 2018, when the Tigers won three in a row in Chicago against the White Sox.
The Tigers return home for a three-game series against the White Sox beginning on Monday.
Sunday’s box score and game rewind are below.

Top 8th: The Tigers take the lead for the first time today in strange fashion. Reliever Richard Rodriguez hit Jonathan Schoop with a pitch and then unleashed a wild pitch that went about 30 feet behind Miguel Cabrera. That allowed Schoop to get into scoring position for Cabrera’s RBI single. Tigers 2, Pirates 1.
Bottom 7th: A nice finish to a nice afternoon for Spencer Turnbull, who retired the final seven batters he faced, including a 1-2-3 seventh inning. It’s the longest start of the year for Turnbull and the Tigers. Tigers 1, Pirates 1.
Top 7th: Pirates reliever Nik Turley issued a two-out walk to Victor Reyes, but the inning ended on deep flyout to center by Austin Romine. Tigers 1, Pirates 1.
Bottom 6th: Spencer Turnbull makes his case for pitching the seventh by tossing a quick 1-2-3 frame, getting Bryan Reynolds to strike out between two groundouts. Tigers 1, Pirates 1.
Top 6th: New Pirates pitcher Geoff Hartlieb struck out the first two batters he faced, Jonathan Schoop and Miguel Cabrera, in a perfect 1-2-3 frame. Tigers 1, Pirates 1.
Bottom 5th: Kevin Newman hit a two-out double, but Spencer Turnbull got Josh Bell to ground out to end the fifth. Tigers 1, Pirates 1.

Bottom 4th: The Pirates get on the board first. Spencer Turnbull hit Colin Moran with a pitch to lead off the inning. Erik Gonzalez lined a rocket at second baseman Jonathan Schoop that he was unable to handle, scoring Moran. It was ruled a base hit. Pirates 1, Tigers 0.
Top 4th: It’s been a sluggish Sunday for the Tigers’ offense. Chris Stratton strikes out C.J. Cron and Jeimer Candelario to retire the side in order. Tigers 0, Pirates 0.
Bottom 3rd: Turnbull pitched into and out of trouble in the third, giving up a lead-up walk to the No. 9 hitter, catcher John Ryan Murphy, and then a single to Adam Frazier. But a double play and a fly-out quickly ended the threat. Tigers 0, Pirates 0.
Top 3rd: The Tigers stranded Austin Romine at second base after a lead-off double. New Pirates pitcher Chris Stratton struck out JaCoby Jones, Niko Goodrum and Jonathan Schoop to escape the inning.
