Blue Jays 6, Tigers 1: Awful offense spoils solid Skubal start

The Toronto Blue Jays came into Saturday night’s game as the hottest team in baseball; the Detroit Tigers, the exact opposite. But the Tigers had their ace up their sleeve... was it enough to win?

No. It absolutely was not. The bats stayed asleep and some late home runs sealed the victory for the visitors as Toronto won 6-1.

Fresh off paternity leave, Tarik Skubal made his twenty-first start of the year for the Tigers. His start against Texas on July 20 has been Detroit’s lone win in the past however-long-it’s-been; he went 6 u2154 innings, giving up one run and striking out eleven.
