The Detroit Tigers defeated the Cleveland Guardians 3-0 on Thursday without recording a single strikeout, accomplishing a feat not seen in Major League Baseball since 2014, according to multiple reports.
Keider Montero was the winning pitcher, allowing three hits through six and one-third innings. Eduardo Valencia homered in the victory, per Deadspin's account of the game.
The shutout represents a notable accomplishment given the strikeout-heavy nature of modern baseball. While the reporting confirms the rarity of the achievement and the basic game details, outlets did not provide additional context about how the Tigers achieved the result or what specifically made the performance unusual beyond the absence of strikeouts.
