Skubal (0-1) took the loss Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing one run on six hits and no walks in seven innings. He struck out three.
The All-Star left-hander certainly wasn't deserving of the loss, but the Tigers were shut out Wednesday. Skubal had the Arizona bats off balance throughout the outing, inducing 10 groundouts while pouring in 60 of his 87 pitches for strikes, but Corbin Carroll managed to take Skubal deep for the game's only run in the first inning. Skubal has permitted a lone run on the campaign to go with a pristine 9:0 K:BB through 13 innings so far, and he'll look to keep dealing his next time out versus the Twins in Minnesota.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Kicks off season with victory
Rotowire
Skubal (1-0) earned the win over San Diego on Thursday, allowing one unearned run on three hits and no walks while striking out six batters over six innings.
Skubal already had a 4-0 lead when he took the mound in the bottom of the first inning, and the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner never let the Padres get back into the game. He didn't yield a run until the sixth frame, and that came about only after a fielding error behind him. Skubal tossed 49 of 74 pitches for strikes and racked up 11 whiffs while cruising toward a season-opening victory. It was a major improvement upon his start to 2025, when he went 0-2 in his first two outings and gave up seven runs over 10.2 frames. Skubal is tentatively slated to make his second start next Wednesday in Arizona.
Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Strikes out seven in return to camp
Rotowire
Skubal allowed one run on three hits across 4.2 innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Blue Jays. He struck out seven.
After making just one appearance for the United States in the World Baseball Classic, Skubal returned to the Grapefruit League and looked sharp in his latest tune-up. The lefty now has a 2.79 ERA and 12 strikeouts across 9.2 innings this spring, and he also allowed one run over three innings with five strikeouts for Team USA. Skubal has been named Detroit's starter for Opening Day on March 26 against the Padres.
