Skubal Shines as Tigers Dominate Athletics | Sacramento News

Detroit Tigers crush the Athletics 6-2 in a dominant performance, led by Tarik Skubal’s career-best nine strikeouts and Colt Keith’s early two-run homer. Skubal struck out the side in the first inning for the first time ever, and despite a solo homer in the third, he kept the Tigers in control. The bullpen, led by Jacob Waguespack’s flawless two innings, sealed the win. Detroit’s offense exploded in the sixth with four runs, including a bloop double and two RBIs from Matt Vierling. The Athletics, now on a four-game losing streak, face another Tigers’ showdown on Wednesday — while Detroit’s momentum continues, they’re also saying goodbye to their third base coach.
