Skubal Shines as Tigers Stomp Athletics | Detroit Tigers News

Tigers crush Athletics 6-2 in a dominant win fueled by Tarik Skubal’s historic nine-strikeout performance and Colt Keith’s explosive two-run homer. Skubal struck out the side in the first for the second time in his career, while the Tigers’ offense exploded in the sixth to pull away. Despite a solo homer from rookie Henry Bolte and an unearned run by the A’s, Jacob Waguespack locked it down with two perfect innings. The A’s are now on a four-game skid, while Detroit wins three straight and six of seven. A.J. Hinch also announced the departure of third base coach Joey Cora, citing philosophical differences. Tigers look to keep rolling as they face the A’s again tomorrow. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
