In four of his six starts, Skubal has not allowed an earned run, however, in the two games where he did allow a run, he gave up seven earned runs and four earned runs. Skubal has been a little bit of a Jekyll and Hyde so far this season, with some blowup innings ruining some of his efforts. The Tigers have been extra careful with him as he recovers from flexor tendon surgery. Skubal has made six starts this season and has posted a 2-1 record.

The Tigers waited until the last minute to name their starting pitchers for the Red Sox series, but we now know for sure that rising star Tarik Skubal will kick things off in Beantown.

Game notes: After wrapping up a four-game set with the Minnesota Twins, the Tigers will travel to Boston for a new series with the Red Sox. 5, 2023.ĭOUBLE TORK BOMBS: Torkelson, Cabrera lead Tigers to 9-5 win over Twins
