Tarik Skubal, Detroit Tigers and all-star game
Digest more
Left-handed starting pitcher Tarik Skubal is in his fifth year with the Detroit Tigers, having made his MLB debut during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. The 28-year-old emerged as Detroit’s ace late in 2023 after returning from flexor tendon surgery.
Skubal showed why he’s the favorite to win the Cy Young for a second straight year, striking out 11 with no walks Sunday night in Detroit’s 2-1 victory over Texas. If the Cy Young indeed goes to him, he’ll be the first AL pitcher to earn it in back-to-back seasons since Pedro Martinez’s remarkable stretch with the Red Sox in 1999 and 2000.
The AL Cy Young favorite put together a masterful performance to help get the Tigers out of a rut on national TV.
Has Dodgers catcher Will Smith already started recruiting Tigers ace Tarik Skubal? He said the Dodgers want "all the best names."
Detroit Tigers' Tarik Skubal gave up two runs, struck out two while recording the first ever ABS challenge in All-Star Game history in his one and only outing.
