As he has all season, Tigers' lefty Tarik Skubal dominated on the mound, striking out 10 over 6.2 innings. He gave up one earned run, walking two and scattering five hits.
He is now 8-1 on the season and looks like a probable All-Star for the American League later this summer. Furthermore, he now owns a historic 1.92 ERA.As you can see above, Skubal's ERA is also the lowest ERA in team history over nearly the last 70 years. After coming off the injured list in 2023, Skubal has really come into his own. He went 7-3 with a 2.80 ERA in 15 starts a year ago and looks like a cornerstone piece for the organization.
First pitch from Comerica Park is set for 6:40 p.m. ET as Mitchell Parker will go up against veteran right-hander Kenta Maeda.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
