Detroit Tigers return to Sunday Night Baseball for first time since 2017 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's been over eight years since Detroit played under the Sunday night lights at Comerica Park. Advertisement Tarik Skubal was still in college. The last time ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" rolled through Detroit, in May 2017, Skubal was recovering from Tommy John surgery and redshirting at Seattle University. He wouldn't pitch again until 2018. Now he's a Cy Young winner, and he's taking the mound Sunday against the Twins as the Tigers return to the national stage. A lot has changed. Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal celebrates after an inning-ending double play against the Cleveland Guardians during Game 2 of the ALDS at Progressive Field on Oct. 7, Richard-Imagn Images Fidget spinners were the hottest thing on the internet. TikTok hadn't even launched. Aaron Judge was a rookie with raw power and zero endorsements. The iPhone 7 was new. Miguel Cabrera still hit over .300. The Tigers were starting Anibal Sanchez and trotting out a lineup with Ian Kinsler, Justin Upton, Victor Martinez and Nicholas Castellanos, now known as Nick.

Elbow bumps replaced high-fives. But the world came back to life, and baseball did too. And the Tigers? They've clawed their way back. Tonight, Comerica gets the national spotlight again. A big-time matchup in a division race, led by one of the best pitchers in baseball. Detroit spent a long time in the shadows. But with Skubal on the mound, the Tigers are back And, they're dangerous. It's been more than 2,900 days since Detroit last hosted "Sunday Night Baseball." The lights are back on. The city's buzzing. And the Tigers? Advertisement They're finally back in the conversation.

Eugenio Suárez Homers in Consecutive Innings for Diamondbacks to Reach 300 for His Career
Eugenio Suárez homered in consecutive innings to become the third Venezuelan-born player to reach 300 on Friday night in the Arizona Diamondbacks' 14–8 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Suárez hit a 405-foot shot to left-center field off Austin Gomber in the fifth, then connected off reliever Ryan Rolison in the sixth with a 398-foot shot to left that made it 11–7. The 33-year-old third baseman trails only Miguel Cabrera (511) and Andrés Galarraga (399) among Venezuelan-born players. For all the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app. 'It means a lot. I never thought this guy from Venezuela would put my name on that list,' Suárez said. 'It's very special, it's very good. It feels like a dream come true.' His teammates congratulated him in the dugout after his second home run of the night, and he was again celebrated in the clubhouse after the game. 'We honored a great baseball player, but an even better human being,' manager Torey Lovullo said. 'It was a special moment. His teammates mean a lot to him. His accomplishments obviously speak for themselves – 300 home runs is unbelievable. He said he never dreamed it would happen, but he's glad that it did.' Suárez tops Arizona with 24 homers and took the major league RBI lead with 65. He has nine home runs in June and six in his last eight games. He has at least 21 home runs in each of the last nine full seasons, hitting a career-high 49 with Cincinnati in 2019. He has hit 50 homers since the end of May 2024, his first season with the Diamondbacks. 'The beginning of last year was tough for me,' he said. 'A lot of people think that was it for me because I started the season so slow, not hitting for power. It feels great.'

Eugenio Suárez homers twice to reach 300 in the Diamondbacks' 14-8 victory over the Rockies
DENVER (AP) — Eugenio Suárez homered twice to become the third Venezuelan-born player to reach 300, helping the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies 14-8 on Friday night. Suárez, who tied his season high with four hits, went deep in the fifth and sixth innings to reach the milestone. He trails only Miguel Cabrera (511) and Andrés Galaragga (399) among Venezuelan-born players. Ketel Marte drove in five runs with a three-run home run and two-run double, and Ildemaro Vargas finished a triple shy of the cycle and hit his first homer of the season for Arizona, which had a season-high 21 hits. The big offensive night spoiled Austin Gomber's first home start of the season. Gomber (0-1), who began the year on the injured list with a sore left shoulder, made his season debut Sunday at Atlanta with five scoreless innings, but was tagged for nine runs and 12 hits in 4-2/3 innings against Arizona. Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen (5-8) navigated through five shaky innings to get the victory. Colorado sent 10 batters to the plate in the fourth and scored six runs to take a 7-6 lead. Ryan McMahon and Mickey Moniak homered and Hunter Goodman had a two-run double in the inning to rally from a five-run deficit. Key moment Suárez's second home run of the night and team-leading 24th of the season stretched Arizona's lead to 11-7 in the sixth inning. He leads the majors in RBIs with 65. Key stats Colorado has hit seven home runs in two games against Gallen this season. He had given up two to the Rockies in his previous 15 starts against them. Up next Diamondbacks RHP Merrill Kelly (6-3, 3.41) will make his 17th career start against Colorado, facing LHP Carson Palmquist (l0-4, 7.76). ___ AP MLB:
