Skubal's Slip: Tigers Ace's Off Night

0:00It's April 23rd. Welcome to MLB News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Tariq Skubal, the Tigers ace and reigning American League-style young winner, finally shows some frustration in his start against the Brewers. He marched back to the dugout in the seventh after Blake Perkins smacked a two-run double to tie the game. Skubal tossed his glove at the wall and flipped a cooler, ending up with four runs on seven hits over six plus innings for a no decision. Early on, Skubal looked unstoppable, retiring Milwaukee's first 11 hitters in order with five strikeouts. He threw just 26 pitches, 24 for strikes, without a two-ball count until the fourth. That flawless run broke when William Contreras and Gary Sanchez ripped back to back doubles. Skubal have increasing with few blemishes this season, riding back-to-back wins into the match-up. The Tigers grabbed the lead on Riley Greene's two-run Homer in the first, and Skubal bounced back strong after those early hits. But the Brewers kept pecking away with small ball, like Bunt singles, to open the sixth
