The star of the show turned out to be Aaron Nola as he tied his career-high 12 strikeouts. The 30-year-old took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, before being subbed off by head-coach Rob Thomson.

“I wouldn’t have chanced his health just for that,” Thomson said.

Nick Maton was the only one, who managed to get past Nola with a bat-flip homer.

“We didn’t handle his fastball, we didn’t handle his breaking ball,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. “As the momentum grew, he was dominating the night. Anything he threw tonight seemed to kind of elude us.”

Seranthony Dominguez and Andrew Vazquez each registered a scoreless inning.

Turner had an RBI single and a solo shot in the third, as Nick Castellanos had a run-scoring double. Bryce Harper added an RBI single in the fifth.
