Tarik Skubal shone for the Detroit Tigers, striking out eight and allowing just one run in eight innings, achieving his 200th strikeout this season. The Tigers honored their 1984 World Series championship with a 2-1 victory against the Boston Red Sox.
Skubal's performance places him among notable team left-handers, alongside legends like Hal Newhouser and Mickey Lolich. The Tigers took the lead after a strong second inning following Tyler O’Neill’s early homer for Boston.
