The Detroit Tigers have been on fire since the start of the 2025 season owning an American League best 53 wins. Helping build an 11.5-game lead in the AL Central, ace Tarik Skubal has been throwing elusive needles off the mound. Off the heels of a Triple Crown and AL Cy Young Award in 2024, Skubal is dealing for back-to-back honors after blanking the Minnesota Twins on Sunday.
For seven innings, all the Twins could do is muster up one hit, a Ty France single to center, off Skubal. The Tigers’ ace went seven strong striking out 13 with one walk. The Tigers combined for a three-pitcher two-hit shutout in a 3-0 win.
Pulling back on the larger canvas, Skubal leads MLB with a 10-2 record. The outing against the Twins lowered his ERA to 2.15. His control is outlined with just 14 walks in 109.0 innings pitched while striking out 138. Showing how unhittable he is, batters are averaging .196 against Skubal.
