Nugget about Tarik Skubal's depressing flip play only makes it feel worse for Tigers

If you were wondering whether the Detroit Tigers were pressing — and whether luck was on the Cleveland Guardians' side — the sixth inning of Tuesday's game should've filled in some of those boxes for you.

With Tarik Skubal on the mound, the Guardians erased a 2-0 deficit and turned it into a one-run lead thanks to a pair of bunts, an infield single, a groundout, and an errant pitch and balk that at least partially can be ascribed to the harrowing "deflected bunt to the face" that preceded them. No batted balls eclipsed 66 MPH.
