Skubal's Win Streak Ends, Remains AL Cy Young Favorite

News summary

Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal's 10-game win streak ended after a loss to the Seattle Mariners, who defeated the Tigers 12-3 at Comerica Park, with Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh hitting two home runs, including a grand slam. Despite this rare poor outing, Skubal remains the frontrunner for a second consecutive AL Cy Young Award and is also being discussed as a potential AL MVP contender due to his overall dominance and impact on the Tigers' postseason hopes. Skubal holds a 2.02 ERA, leads the league in WHIP and strikeout-to-walk ratio among qualified pitchers. The Tigers' need for another controllable starting pitcher has grown urgent as the trade deadline approaches, given injuries to the rotation and Skubal's contract running only through 2026. Skubal is expected to start for the American League in the upcoming All-Star Game. His continued success is seen as pivotal to Detroit's playoff aspirations.
