Special to the Detroit Free Press
One night after Spencer Turnbull delivered the eighth no-hitter in Detroit Tigers history, starter Tarik Skubal achieved a more modest feat. The rookie left-hander notched his first win of the season.
Skubal struck out a career-high nine batters as the Tigers downed the Seattle Mariners 6-2 on Wednesday to complete a three-game road sweep.
The Tigers lefty had lost all six of his previous starts this season.
Skubal’s victory was the second of his career, with the first coming on August 29th against Minnesota.
