To hear Tarik Skubal tell it, he merely clocked in for a couple hours on the mound Sunday at Comerica Park
“I wasn’t trying to put too much pressure on myself to pitch really well,” Skubal said after his start against the Baltimore Orioles. “I was just trying to go out there and do my job.”
That he did, and then some: 11 strikeouts, three hits, two walks and no runs allowed over six innings, while inducing a career high 21 swings-and-misses in the Tigers’ 5-1 victory.
