The Texas Rangers miraculously scored a run but the Detroit Tigers scored two runs.
Baseball is not supposed to be predictable. Tonight, however, and especially after everything that has transpired so far this season, the Rangers having to take on Tarik Skubal felt like an impossible task.
It went exactly as you might have thought it would. Skubal pitched perhaps the best game by an opposing starter against Texas all season with seven innings and 12 strikeouts to go along with zero walks. Here’s the surprise: The Rangers got two hits off Skubal and even scored a run against the reigning Cy Young winner.
