Bleacher Report • • sports
Key Points:
- The Detroit Tigers traded pitcher Tarik Skubal to the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Skubal took an expensive espresso machine from the Tigers' clubhouse with him at his wife's request.
- Skubal joked that his wife insisted on keeping the machine because it was too costly to simply return it.
- In his first start back in Detroit against his former team, Skubal pitched six strong innings, allowing one earned run and striking out seven, helping the Dodgers to a 2-1 win.
- Since the trade, Skubal has made five starts for the Dodgers, posting a 3.00 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and 37 strikeouts in 30 innings.
- The Dodgers' rotation, featuring Skubal alongside Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, and Tyler Glasnow, is seen as a formidable lineup for the playoffs, even without Shohei Ohtani pitching.
