Tigers ace Tarik Skubal shows some rust in first start since elbow procedure‎

“I don’t want to play into that narrative of trying to be back,” Skubal said Saturday following his first start since April 29. Skubal showed some rust while pitching 4 2/3 innings as the Tigers again failed to get any timely hits (they stranded 11 runners) i n a 3-1 loss to the Cleveland Guardians. While Skubal wasn't dominant, that hardly mattered to the Tigers.
