If you want good pitching, tonight was the night to be watching. Nathan Eovaldi was up for the Rangers, and while his leash was short owing to a recent groin injury, he was still dialed in. For the Tigers, it was bona fide ace Tarik Skubal, who continues to make his Cy Young case with every outing.
Let’s take a look at how this pitching duel shook out.
The Tigers kicked off the game going 1-2-3 in the top of the first. Into the home half Marcus Semien wasted no time putting the Rangers on the board with a solo home run.
