The Detroit Tigers mourns the death of player who has lost his life in a plane crash…See more…
On Wednesday, the Detroit Tigers were looking to bounce back and break their losing streak with ace Tarik Skubal on the mound against the Atlanta Braves. Unfortunately, what seemed like a promising setup quickly unraveled as Skubal delivered his worst performance of the season. The Tigers, unable to score a single run, fell to the Braves 7-0, marking a continued slide in their already challenging season.
Tarik Skubal, who has been a bright spot for the Tigers and a Cy Young contender, struggled from the start. The Braves jumped on him early, and he never seemed to find his rhythm. By the time he left the game, he had given up five runs, including a couple of home runs, and the Tigers’ defense failed to back him up.
During the game, Skubal lasted just four innings, giving up four earned runs on seven hits and walking two batters (he also hit two batters) while striking out seven.
