Tarik Skubal Allows Six Runs In Tuesday's Loss
3 years agoDetroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal got off to a strong start in Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. He struck out three of the first five batters he faced. However, things started to fall apart for him during his second trip through the Athletics' order. Skubal pitched five innings in total in the game and allowed seven hits, three walks and six earned runs while striking out six. He earned the loss, dropping his record to 8-12 on the year. This was easily Skubal's worst start of August. He had allowed just four earned runs total over his previous four starts in the month, a total of 22.2 innings. He now has a 4.26 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP on the year. His next start will be on Monday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
