The Detroit Tigers hit four home runs and Tarik Skubal outdueled fellow ace Zack Wheeler in a 7-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. The Tigers (65-47) and Phillies (62-48) have split the first two games of the series and will play the rubber match in a nationally televised game on Sunday night.

All-Star starter Tarik Skubal won his first game since June and Javier Baez homered, doubled and knocked in four runs as the Detroit Tigers beat the Philadelphia Phillies and ace Zack Wheeler 7-5.

The Phillies’ ace has allowed three or more runs in just six of 22 starts this year, but three of those starts have come in the past month.

The Phillies two big moves at the trade deadline — adding Twins closer Jhoan Duren and outfielder Harrison Bader — received high marks. Let’s look at some grades for the Phillies' deadline deals.

The Philadelphia Phillies were certainly very busy at the trade deadline this summer. They were aggressive buyers and added bullpen help as well as a key outfield bat. Jhoan Duran and Harrison Bader were acquired in separate trades with the Minnesota Twins.
