Tarik Skubal made a strong return to Detroit, pitching six innings for the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 2-1 victory over the Tigers, allowing only one run and striking out seven, lowering his ERA to 2.84. This was his first game against his former team after being traded, where he received mostly cheers from the crowd. Skubal, a two-time Cy Young winner, was traded due to contract issues amid the Tigers’ playoff chase, which has since faltered with a 3-12 record in their last 15 games.
