3 years agoDetroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal was sharp during Thursday's no-decision versus the Astros, striking out nine batters in his club's 3-2 loss. He gave up six hits and no walks in the 90-pitch outing, but was blemished by a pair of solo homers off the bats of Jose Altuve and Jeremy Peña. It was the first two long balls of the season that Skubal has surrendered as he now sits with a crisp 3.04 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and a 29/3 K/BB through 26 2/3 IP on the year. Unfortunately he sits with a 1-2 record, but he'll have a chance to even that out with a home date versus the Athletics next week.--Riley Mrack - RotoBaller
