Tarik Skubal throws 6 solid innings in 1st start against former team, helping Dodgers top Tigers 2-1
DETROIT (AP) — Tarik Skubal threw six solid innings against his former team, Freddie Freeman hit a tiebreaking single in the seventh inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers held on to beat the Detroit Tigers…
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tarik Skubal threw an impressive six innings during his first start back with the Detroit Tigers, contributing to the Dodgers' 2-1 victory. In the seventh inning, Freddie Freeman secured a pivotal tie in the game with a single, and later a Dodgers run in the eighth inning. Skubal's strong performance included striking out seven batters, limiting Detroit to one run on four hits.
The 29-year-old Skubal, who was traded to the Dodgers earlier this month, received a mixed reaction from fans at Comerica Park, with a few boos despite the overall support. Evan Phillips, Brock Stewart, Alex Vesia, and Tanner Scott combined for three innings of scoreless relief, while Jacob Waguespack pitched 1 1/3 innings. Skubal allowed a leadoff double to Gleyber Torres and battled through the next 12 batters, including striking out the side in the third inning.
Eduardo Valencia and Max Clark both contributed doubles to break the scoreless tie in the fifth inning, leading to Miguel Rojas' RBI single in the eighth, which gave the Dodgers the lead.
