Detroit Tigers shut out Guardians without strikeouts in historic game

The Detroit Tigers achieved a rare feat on August 13, 2026, at Comerica Park by shutting out the Cleveland Guardians, 3-0, without a single strikeout. Keider Montero pitched 6⅓ scoreless innings, allowing three hits and one walk, while the Tigers' defense converted all 27 balls in play into outs. This is the first shutout without a strikeout in MLB since 2014 and just the tenth since 1995. The Tigers' offense was modest, scoring enough to secure the victory, with Kevin McGonigle's error not leading to any runs for Cleveland. Kenley Jansen recorded his 15th save to cap the game.
