Skubal's Possible Farewell Marred by Devastating Collapse
Jackson Holliday drove in three runs and Colton Cowser knocked in the winning run as Baltimore rallied from a seven-run deficit for a 10-9, 12-inning win, spoiling what may have been Tarik Skubal's last start as a Detroit Tiger. Skubal recorded his 1,000th career strikeout and shut the Orioles out through the first six innings, but his final line was 6.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 6 K on 92 pitches. He received a standing ovation and high-fives from the whole dugout. The Tigers are now positioned perilously close to the trade deadline with their ace's future uncertain.
