Skubal proves he's 'one of the best' after another gem
DETROIT -- The way Tarik Skubal finished last season, he didn’t want it to end. The way the Tigers left-hander has started this season, it’s like it never did. He won AL Pitcher of the Month last September by going 4-0 with a 0.90 ERA over his final five starts,

Bested in finale, Tigers still pleased with road swing
ST. PETERSBURG -- On getaway night, the Tigers couldn’t find a way to close out a sweep of the Rays. Instead, following a 7-5 defeat on Wednesday at Tropicana Field, Detroit was consoled by winning the road series and getting a much-needed off-day after a rigorous 14-day stretch. “We’re going
Jobe strikes out 6 in 4 frames at Double-A
There is little that isn't impressive about Jackson Jobe. The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder cuts an imposing figure atop the mound and that's before he even delivers a pitch. When Jobe does unleash his upper-90s heat, or a sweeping 70-grade slider or a changeup that drops off the table, he profiles as
