Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Scubal opens the second half of his stellar season with a prime-time showdown against the 2023 World Series champion Texas Rangers on ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball."
Scubal (10-3, 2.23 ERA), who was the starting pitcher for the American League in the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, looks to keep the Tigers on track after helping the club to the best record in baseball through the first half of the season. The Rangers hope to slow down Detroit's potent lineup while keeping pace in the race for a postseason berth after missing the playoffs a season ago.
