Detroit Tigers' Jackson Jobe Secures First MLB Win, Celebrates Masters Weekend

Detroit Tigers pitcher Jackson Jobe earned his first major league win on Masters weekend, showcasing his potential in a 4-0 victory against the Minnesota Twins. The 22-year-old right-hander, son of professional golfer Brandt Jobe, pitched six shutout innings, allowing only two hits and striking out two batters. This win marked a significant milestone for Jobe, who faced challenges in his previous starts but demonstrated improvement by focusing on his curveball effectiveness. Meanwhile, Tigers ace Tarik Skubal also had a standout performance, securing a 9-1 victory against the Milwaukee Brewers while striking out nine batters over seven innings. Skubal, the 2024 American League Cy Young winner, has rebounded from a slow start, indicating a strong return to form. Spencer Torkelson contributed to the Tigers' success by hitting a two-run homer in the game against the Twins, as the team continues to build momentum early in the season.
