There was no disputing Tyler Skaggs’ focus Monday during his one-run, eight-strikeout innings in Kansas City.
But, a day later, he admitted he was distracted briefly, and it happened during one of those strikeouts.
The fan was wearing a Mike Trout shirt while the recipient of his question was in Royals attire.
“I figured something was up because everybody was cheering loud and there really wasn’t any action going on,” Skaggs said. “I figured she said ‘yes.’ If she had said ‘no,’ no one would be cheering.”
The left-hander couldn’t recall any of his previous starts being disrupted by love.
