The Detroit Tigers thumped the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night as Tarik Skubal coasted in another great performance.
The Detroit Tigers routed the Seattle Mariners, 15-1, on Tuesday night at Comerica Park. The loss was monumental for Seattle, as it dropped them to 63-57 overall. With 42 games to play, they are 1.5 games back in the American League West and 2.0 games back in the AL wild card race.
The Tigers offense was the big story, as they obliterated M's ace George Kirby for 13 hits over 3.2 innings, but the work on the mound by ace Tarik Skubal can't be overlooked. The All-Star dominated once again, going 6.0 innings. He allowed just one run on three hits. He walked one and struck out nine. Skubal was never really challenged in the contest. The lone run he gave up was in the fourth inning on an RBI single by Mitch Haniger.
With the nine strikeouts, Skubal now has exactly 600 strikeouts for his career, putting him on an exclusive list in baseball history.This season, Skubal is 14-4 with a 2.53 ERA. He's looking like the favorite for the American League Cy Young Award as well. He's fanned 180 batters in 149.1 innings with his upper-90s velocity and his devastating changeup.
