PHOENIX — \u2014 Zac Gallen<\/a> outdueled two-time AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal<\/a>, Corbin Carroll<\/a> homered and the Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> beat the Detroit Tigers<\/a> 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<\/a> 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<\/a>‘s one-out triple, but Gleyber Torres<\/a> lined to first baseman Jose Fernandez<\/a>, 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<\/a> fielded a tough short hop.<\/p>\n

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

Up next <\/p>\n

Tigers: LHP Framber Valdez<\/a> (0-0, 1.50 ERA) vs. Cardinals RHP Michael McGreevy<\/a> (0-0, 0.00) on Friday in Detroit.<\/p>\n
