Anaheim, Calif. — Tarik Skubal was actually upset with himself after his last start, never mind that he blanked the White Sox with nine strikeouts over five, two-hit innings.
It chafed him that he needed 95 pitches to get through five innings. The outing was too short for his liking.
He made amends Friday night.
Skubal was a portrait of dominance and efficiency, striking out nine and allowing just a run and three hits in seven innings in the Tigers' 11-2 win against the Los Angeles Angels.
The Angels had mustered only two singles off him through six innings.
