Javier Báez broke out of a season-long slump with five RBIs, Tarik Skubal pitched six dominant innings and the Detroit Tigers pounded the Arizona Diamondbacks 13-0 on Friday night.
The Detroit Tigers have experienced more failure than success through 43 games in 2024. Here's how players are trending after 26.5% of the season.
With one of the most iconic pitchers in Tigers history sitting in the visitors' dugout, a lot of the pregame talk Saturday centered on 27-year-old Tarik Skubal and how he might someday measure up to Justin Verlander's legacy. “One thing that all great pitchers do, all the top, high-end major league pitchers do, is they just stack good outing after good outing,” said manager AJ Hinch. You don't see the high-end pitchers at this level just disappear for stretches. Skubal, as if on cue, worked his fifth straight quality start, subduing the Houston Astros for six-plus innings as the Tigers evened the series with an 8-2 win at Comerica Park.
