Tarik Skubal Dazzles Again, but Tigers’ Bats Go Quiet in Loss to Royals

At Kauffman Stadium on Saturday, the Kansas City Royals edged out the Detroit Tigers 1-0, halting Detroit's streak of five consecutive victories.
Detroit started left-hander Tarik Skubal, whose strong pitching influenced the Royals to adjust their lineup by moving Vinnie Pasquantino from third to seventh.
The only run scored when Pasquantino singled in Nick Loftin in the eighth inning after Loftin doubled, while both starting pitchers delivered seven shutout innings with minimal hits allowed.
Royals reliever John Schreiber earned the win with a 2-2 record, and Carlos Estevez recorded his 16th save out of 18 chances as Kansas City managed four hits total.
The Tigers lost despite Skubal’s strong outing and will face the Royals again Sunday with right-hander Keider Montero pitching against left-hander Kris Bubic.
