On Monday afternoon, the Detroit Tigers beat the San Francisco Giants 5-1 in a makeup of a game that was rained out in April. I’m sure the players would’ve much rather had the day off, but that’s how the ball bounces sometimes, I guess.
Tarik Skubal made his fourth start for the Tigers this year, after his extended absence due to injury. His previous starts were all four innings and roughly 60 pitches long; the first two went great, and the third was a bit of a clunker, to say the least. We’re all watching him pretty closely around here.
