Detroit Tigers Ace Tarik Skubal Wanted All The Smoke
The Detroit Tigers Cy Young favorite Tarik Skubal did not back down from the fans in Cleveland and even gave the hecklers a taste of their own medicine. The Tigers continued their incredible postseason run yesterday with some 9th-inning heroics leading to a 3-0 win over the Guardians. Kerry Carpenter will get all the highlight love after blasting the three-run homer in the 9th inning, and he should! Check out the massive shot below and relive some of the Tigers magic. https://twitter.com/BenVerlander/status/1843420903125987445 Tarik Skubal Standing On Business The 9th inning homer will always get the headlines, but Tarik Skubal is the reason that the Tigers were able to be in a position to win. Skubal is the ace of the Detroit staff, and the Tigers needed him to come up big in game 2. Not only did Skubal rise to the challenge, he also joined some esteemed Tigers pitching company. https://x.com/DetroitTigersPR/status/1843663748109942799 Skubal and Verlander . . . that's it. That is impressive to say the very least. My favorite part about Skubal is that he doesn't shy away from the spotlight of pitching in a huge game. The louder and more rowdy the Cleveland fans got, the more Skubal turned up his performance to shut them down. Just watch him come off the mound after another shutout inning. https://x.com/MLB/status/1843408504918553052 If you happen to be an excellent lip reader, or if you have eyes and know the basic curse words, you'll have a good idea of the message Skubal was trying to send. https://x.com/barstoolsports/status/1843414779152478226 Skubal is a beast when he's on the mound, but you can see in his post-game interview that he knows the team mentality is why Detroit is making this surprising run. https://twitter.com/MLB/status/1843438321336484211 The ALDS Is Coming To Detroit With the dramatic win in game two of the ALDS, the Tigers are taking all the momentum into game three at Comerica Park.
