Skubal Shines as Tigers Collapse | Detroit Tigers News

The Tigers’ dream of a comeback ended in heartbreak as they blew a seven-run lead against the Orioles, losing 10-9 in extra innings. Tarik Skubal, possibly pitching his final game before the trade deadline, delivered a stellar performance — striking out his 1,000th batter to roaring cheers — but the bullpen couldn’t hold the fort. Baltimore erupted for seven runs in just 13 at-bats late, capped by Spencer Torkelson’s 100th homer in the 11th to tie it. Javier Báez added key RBIs earlier. Despite the loss, Skubal’s milestone shone bright. The Tigers now sit at 51-58, having dropped two of three to Baltimore, and head into a brutal nine-game road trip. With the deadline looming, consistency is the name of the game — and the Tigers need it fast. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
