Skubal pitches 6 solid innings as Dodgers beat Tigers 2-1

Tarik Skubal made an emotional return to Detroit on Friday night, pitching six solid innings against his former team as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Tigers 2-1. The victory snapped a three-game losing streak for Los Angeles. Skubal, a two-time Cy Young Award winner traded to the Dodgers earlier this month, was welcomed back to Comerica Park with a tribute video and a mixed reception from the crowd, which included both cheers and some boos. The left-hander allowed one run on four hits and struck out seven batters. He retired the first 12 batters he faced after surrendering a leadoff double in the first inning.
