Skubal’s Comeback Earns Tigers Win

Tarik Skubal, back from a 38-day elbow surgery absence, delivered a gritty five-two-third inning start, giving up three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out eight — including two solo homers on shaky changeups — as the Detroit Tigers edged the Chicago White Sox 4-3. Detroit seized control in the sixth when Kerry Carpenter’s bloop double was misplayed, scoring two runs, and had an early 2-0 lead courtesy of Matt Vierling’s homer. Skubal weathered tough innings, including a bases-loaded threat in the fifth, and even had a brief post-at-bat exchange with a White Sox reliever. The bullpen — Drew Anderson, Will Vest, and Kenley Jansen — locked down the win, with Jansen earning his first save since May 10. The Tigers are now 5-4 in games Skubal starts. Tomorrow, Troy Melton takes the mound for Detroit, while the White Sox haven’t named their starter yet. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
