Last Night In Baseball: The Tigers Blew What Might Be Tarik Skubal's Last Start

There is always baseball happening — almost too much baseball for one person to follow themselves.

Don't worry, we're here to help you by figuring out what you missed but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball:

Oh Tigers, what could have been. Tarik Skubal, in what very well might have been his final start with Detroit — as a pending free agent on a team that is half-in, half-out of postseason contention, it really depends on what the offers are — threw 6 ⅔ innings of one-run ball with the Tigers up 7-1… and then the bullpen arrived on the scene.

Earlier, Skubal recorded the 1,000th strikeout of his MLB career, and received a standing ovation for hitting that round number.

And the Tigers scored their first runs due to sloppy Orioles’ defense, which felt pretty in line with the previous day, in which Detroit won 14-0 against Baltimore.

Things all fell apart in a hurry, however. Skubal allowed a run on a single by outfielder Leody Taveras, and then was removed from the game for reliever Kyle Finnegan. He entered with two of Skubal’s runners still on, and failed to strand either of them despite there already being two outs.

Finnegan walked second baseman Jeremiah Jackson to begin, then gave up a single to pinch-hitter Jackson Holliday that scored both of the inherited runners. Holliday then stole second base and Finnegan gave up another RBI single to left fielder Taylor Word — 7-5, Detroit. Drew Anderson then relieved Finnegan and got the final out of the inning, but the O’s weren’t done yet.

Shortstop Gunnar Henderson walked and then pinch-hitter Dylan Beavers reached on a fielder’s choice. The runners were moved over on a ground out by third baseman Christian
