Detroit Tigers rookie left-hander Tarik Skubal turned in his best outing of the season — and his MLB career — against the Houston Astros on Sunday.
Skubal completed seven innings for the first time in his career, and struck out nine — all swinging — while getting 21 swings-and-misses.
The Tigers (34-44) didn't waste the efficient outing from Skubal, but they took their time finding a way to win. Robbie Grossman dropped a walk-off bunt with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning, creating just enough time for Akil Baddoo to score for a 2-1 win in the series finale at Comerica.
