'That's not who I am': Skubal, Tigers knocked around in 11-3 loss

Cleveland — Tarik Skubal will have better nights.

The rookie left-hander gave up three long home runs in four innings in the Tigers' 11-3 loss to the Cleveland Indians Saturday night.

It was the Tigers' third straight loss.

"What happened tonight was unacceptable," said Skubal, who just six days ago limited the Indians to two runs in 5.1 innings. "That's not who I am. But it's just learning from it and move forward. I get the ball in another five days and I can prepare very well between now and then."

He didn't seem to have the same life on his pitches Saturday, nor the same command.
