Tigers turn to Tarik Skubal, seek series win vs. Royals

Tarik Skubal has developed into a pitcher no one wants to face, except perhaps his opponent on Sunday afternoon. Skubal, the Detroit Tigers' unofficial ace, will start the finale of a three-game home series against Kansas City. The Royals have been unusually successful against Skubal (3-0, 1.82 ERA). Kansas City catcher Salvador Perez has eight hits, including five for extra bases, in 18 at-bats against Skubal.
