Dodgers' Tarik Skubal Expects Detroit Homecoming Against Former Teammates Will Test His Emotions
Hinch said Skubal will make his first start against Detroit after the Tigers traded the left-hander to Los Angeles ahead of the Aug. 3 deadline.
- On Friday, former Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal returns to Comerica Park to pitch for the Los Angeles Dodgers against his former team, marking his first appearance in Detroit since his trade four weeks ago.
- Ahead of the August 3 trade deadline, the Tigers traded Skubal to the Dodgers, receiving outfielder Zyhir Hope and right-handers River Ryan and Brady Smith in the deal.
- Skubal has posted a 3.38 ERA with 30 strikeouts across four starts for the Dodgers, earning his first win on Saturday by striking out 11 batters in seven innings against Pittsburgh.
- "Sure it will be emotional there just because of the history," Skubal said, while Dodgers manager Dave Roberts noted his temperament, stating, "I think that's just who he is."
- Friday's matchup features the Tigers expected to start Drew Anderson against Skubal, as Detroit sits 4 1/2 games behind the Cleveland Guardians for the final American League Wild Card spot.
