It was a Battle Of The Left-Handed Aces down at the ol’ corporate-sponsored ball yard on Tuesday night, and the home team touched up a very, very good pitcher for the most runs he’s given up all year in a 4-1 win.
Making the start for the home team was Tarik Skubal, who’d had a couple of rough outings against Houston and Atlanta coming into tonight’s tilt. Notably, and unusually, each of those two starts had five instances of hitter-contact that were classified as line drives; those tend to fall in as hits a lot more often than ground balls or fly balls.
