OAKLAND, Calif. — Tarik Skubal had a season-high 10 strikeouts in seven strong innings for his fourth consecutive win, and the Detroit Tigers handed the Athletics their eighth consecutive loss, beating Oakland 7-3. Kerry Carpenter had his ninth multi-hit game this month and the 34th of the season for Detroit. Matt Vierling added two hits, an RBI and scored twice for the Tigers, who are 6-2 on their final road trip of the season. Brent Rooker hit his 28th home run for the last-place A's (46-107), who need to win their final nine games to avoid matching the 1979 A's (54-108) for the most losses in Oakland history.
