Tarik Skubal faces Astros, looks to reverse Tigers' losing trend

Tarik Skubal is becoming one of the most feared pitchers in the majors. The Detroit Tigers' unofficial ace will make his eighth start of the season on Saturday evening in the second game of a three-game home series against the Houston Astros. Detroit has won five of the seven games that Skubal (4-0, 1.90 ERA) has started. One of the exceptions came in his most recent start, a 5-2 road loss to the New York Yankees on Sunday.
