The Detroit Tigers needed a response after their 10-1 loss on Wednesday night. Thankfully, they had their superstar ace Tarik Skubal on the bump for the rubber match against the Baltimore Orioles. If one were to just look at the box score, it would appear like everything was business as usual for the reigning AL Cy Young winner since he threw seven scoreless innings where he gave up just three hits and had six strikeouts. After the game, Skubal admitted as much, stating, “I was kind of fighting myself a little bit early,” per Jason Beck of MLB.com.
