A pair of uncharacteristic fielding errors from center fielder Riley Greene on back-to-back balls in play put the Detroit Tigers behind on the scoreboard and left a runner on second base for left-hander Tarik Skubal with one out in the second inning.
Skubal sensed danger in his sixth start of the season.
"You have to limit those innings," Skubal said after Saturday's 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays, "and you could see it kind of start to go in the second (inning), so to get out of there with only one (run) was huge, for my confidence and our team.
