After a day spent licking their wounds in the wake of a three-game sweep in the Bronx, the Tigers traded the short porch in right field for the delightful views of the Pittsburgh skyline at the gorgeous PNC Park... after a two-hour rain delay, of course. The change of scenery did them good, as the Tigers got back to their winning ways with a 5-3 victory.
Tarik Skubal got the start tonight, eventually (see the Notes at the bottom). His 2022 so far has been excellent, and his previous outing might’ve been his best to date: seven shutout innings against the division-leading Minnesota Ball Club.
