<\/p>\nPHOENIX \u2014 Zac Gallen outdueled two-time AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, Corbin Carroll homered and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Detroit Tigers 1-0 on Wednesday to sweep the three-game series.<\/p>\n
Carroll homered to left-center in the first to give the D-backs a 1-0 lead. It was just the sixth homer the left-handed Skubal had ever allowed to a left-handed hitter.<\/p>\n
Skubal (1-1) grew up in Kingman, Arizona, which is about a 3 1\/2-hour drive from Chase Field. The 29-year-old was in total control \u2014 except for the Carroll homer \u2014 giving up six hits and striking out three over seven innings.<\/p>\n
Gallen (1-1) allowed four hits and struck out two, needing 88 pitches in six innings.<\/p>\n
Detroit’s Colt Keith nearly tied the game in the third inning, but settled for a double after his long fly ball bounced off the yellow padding at the top of the right-center wall. <\/p>\n
The Tigers had another chance in the sixth after rookie Kevin McGonigle’s one-out triple, but Gleyber Torres lined to first baseman Jose Fernandez, who threw to third to double off McGonigle and end the inning.<\/p>\n
Jonathan Lo\u00e1isiga handled the ninth inning for his first save with the Diamondbacks, and just the ninth of his nine-year career. McGonigle led off the ninth with a single, but Torres grounded into a double play after Arizona third baseman Nolan Arenado fielded a tough short hop.<\/p>\n

Riley Greene followed with a two-out double, but Lo\u00e1isiga coaxed a soft comebacker from Dillon Dingler and flipped to first for the final out.<\/p>\n
