Tigers Win Big After Trade Shuffle | MLB News

The Tigers stunned the baseball world by trading away ace Tarik Skubal — only to still win big, thanks to a surprise gem in Troy Melton and a hot offense. While Skubal dazzled for the Dodgers, Melton tossed seven scoreless innings against the Mariners, backed by home runs from Riley Greene and Colt Keith, leading to an 8-0 rout. The win streak has catapulted them into playoff contention — just 4.5 games out of first and 1.5 behind a wild card spot. Melton’s ERA since his debut is elite, he’s averaging under 100 pitches per start, and the offense is on fire, scoring eight or more runs in six straight games — tying a 1922 franchise record. Even with a reshuffled roster, the Tigers are playing with heart and proving they’re still a force to be reckoned with.
