Tarik Skubal Strikes Out Nine On Tuesday
4 years agoDetroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal matched a season-high with nine strikeouts against the Cleveland Indians on Monday. Skubal pitched five innings and allowed six hits, one walk and two earned runs. Unfortunately, he got no run support and wound up with a loss in the game, falling to 1-7 on the year. Skubal has made some solid strides in May after a shaky April. While his 4.29 ERA this month isn't great, he's recorded 31 strikeouts over 21 innings, good for 13.3 K/9. He's worth keeping an eye on for fantasy managers in deep leagues and AL-only leagues. His next start will come on Sunday against the New York Yankees.
