After six shutout innings, Skubal took a 1-0 lead into the seventh. A one-out double by Adolis Garcia and a single by Kyle Higashioka put the tying run at third. Skubal then won an eight-pitch battle to strike out Jonah Heim.

Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal was the unanimous 2024 American League Cy Young Award winner and has put himself in position to win two in a row.

Tarik Skubal has strengthened his case for a second straight AL Cy Young Award. On Sunday night, he struck out 11 batters with no walks in Detroit's 2-1 win over Texas.

Is Tarik Skubal one of the three best players in baseball? If you asked Jon Heyman, he would say yes. After another stellar outing yesterday against the Texas Rangers, Heyman took to X this morning to heap praise on to the Tigers’ lefty.

Matt Vierling snapped a 1-1 tie with a single in the eighth inning as the Tigers beat the Rangers to end a 6-game losing streak.

One bold suggestion came from former center fielder Cameron Maybin, who thinks Tigers starter Tarik Skubal could end up with the Yankees. Maybin made the argument in a series of posts on his X account.

Cameron Maybin knows Detroit fans are protective of Tarik Skubal, and he stirred the pot anyway. The former Tigers and Yankees outfielder warned the Tigers that if they don't lock up the reigning Cy Young Award winner now, he would certainly look perfect in Yankee Stadium wearing pinstripes.
