Tarik Skubal, the Tigers' left-hander, continuously strives to enhance his slider, aspiring to achieve a level of excellence comparable to Clayton Kershaw's renowned pitch. Despite frustrations, he remains a top pitcher, demonstrating ongoing growth and determination.

Tarik Skubal struggled early, giving up two runs but managed to limit damage thereafter, finishing his outing effectively.

Skubal has displayed stellar form, allowing no earned runs in his last two starts and presents a strong option against a weak Royals lineup. His recent performances erase earlier concerns about his effectiveness.

Skubal is on fire with 13 consecutive shutout innings and carries significant strikeout potential into his matchup against the Royals, making him a top DFS pitcher for today.

Skubal delivered a dominant performance, pitching seven scoreless innings, striking out nine batters, and allowing only four hits. He was particularly effective in the early innings, keeping the Brewers off-balance with a powerful fastball.
