Tigers Extend Losing Streak to Six Despite Skubal's Strong Start Against Blue Jays

News summary

Tarik Skubal pitched six scoreless innings with seven strikeouts in a losing effort as the Detroit Tigers fell 6-1 to the Toronto Blue Jays, marking their sixth consecutive loss and 12th in 13 games. Despite Skubal's strong performance and defensive support, including key plays by catcher Jake Rogers, the Tigers' offense struggled, managing only two hits and one walk against Blue Jays' starter Kevin Gausman. Skubal displayed remarkable endurance and intensity, throwing multiple 100-plus mph fastballs late in his outing, a strategy praised by former Tiger Max Scherzer. The Tigers' bullpen faltered in the eighth inning, allowing a two-run single that gave the Blue Jays the lead, which they extended with additional runs in the ninth. Skubal had recently returned from the paternity list with his wife expecting their second child, balancing personal challenges with his professional responsibilities. Despite his efforts to energize the team, the Tigers remain mired in a significant slump, scoring just 16 runs in their last nine games.
