Episode Details

Tarik Skubal delivered a masterclass on Friday night, striking out 12 and allowing just one run in 7⅓ innings as the Tigers edged the Royals 2-1 — possibly his final home start in Detroit amid trade rumors. He battled through a tense seventh, earning a thunderous standing ovation from 40,000 fans before being pulled after one batter in the eighth. The win lifts Detroit to 50-54, with a scorching 28-16 run since June 1, inching closer to their 500th win in franchise history. The Tigers scored both runs in the first inning — thanks to singles and a hit-by-pitch that loaded the bases — while Skubal silenced the Royals’ threats with strikeouts, including a crucial inning in the seventh. The Royals added a run in the fourth on a double, but Skubal’s dominance kept them at bay.
