Tarik Skubal Dominates as Tigers Defeat Brewers 9-1

In a dominant performance, Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers struck out nine and allowed only four hits in seven shutout innings, leading the Tigers to a 9-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Skubal, the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner, did not permit a baserunner until the fifth inning, while the Tigers built a commanding 9-0 lead early in the game. Key offensive contributions came from Kerry Carpenter, who homered, and Gleyber Torres, who drove in three runs. The loss marked the Brewers' third consecutive defeat, with Tyler Alexander struggling on the mound for Milwaukee, giving up eight runs in four innings. Skubal has now thrown 13 consecutive scoreless innings in his last two starts, significantly improving from his earlier season performance. The Tigers will next face the Brewers again with Jack Flaherty set to pitch on Tuesday.
