TARIK SKUBAL NEWS

No-decision Thursday Skubal didn't factor into the decision Thursday against Minnesota after allowing five runs on six hits and a walk across 3.1 innings, striking out one.

Impact The left-hander didn't have his best stuff Thursday and allowed three homers, but the opposing starter, Joe Ryan, struggled as well and this allowed Skubal to end the season with another no-decision. He hasn't recorded a win since he fired six scoreless innings against the Orioles on Aug. 11, and he has gone 0-2 with a 5.18 ERA across 33 innings (eight appearances) since then.

Fires four scoreless frames Skubal pitched four scoreless innings in a no-decision Saturday against Kansas City, giving up just one hit to go with one strikeout.

Skubal has gone 8-12 in 30 appearances (28 starts) this season, posting a 1.24 WHIP and 163:46 K:BB over 146 innings.

Strong across three innings Skubal allowed a hit and a walk while striking out six over three scoreless innings in a no-decision versus Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Impact The southpaw has now seen short starts in his last two outings, throwing just 49 pitches (34 strikes) Sunday after a 50-pitch appearance Monday. Skubal has been fairly effective, but Detroit is likely to manage the 24-year-old's workload the rest of the way, effectively eliminating his chances of adding to his win total if he continues to start games. He has a 4.21 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 160:46 K:BB through 139 innings. Skubal projects for a rematch in Tampa Bay next weekend.

Yields two runs Skubal allowed two runs on four hits over three innings in Monday's loss to Pittsburgh. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Skubal served up a two-run shot to Kevin Newman in the first inning before recording an out but he settled in after that. He retired the final eight batters he faced and threw 36-of-50 pitches for strikes. The 24-year-old southpaw has given up two or fewer runs in five of his last six outings, lowering his season ERA to 4.30. Skubal is projected to face Milwaukee at home next week.
