US EditionDetroit's Skubal Making a Bid for a Cy Young Repeat. He'd Be the First in AL to Do that Since 2000
DETROIT, JUL 21 – Skubal leads the American League with a 2.18 ERA and aims to be the first pitcher to win consecutive Cy Young Awards since 2000, boosting Detroit's top AL Central record.
- On Sunday night, Detroit pitcher Tarik Skubal struck out 11 with no walks, leading to a 2-1 victory over Texas.
- A quarter century has elapsed since an AL pitcher won back-to-back Cy Young Awards, noting Pedro Martinez’s 1999 and 2000 seasons.
- Skubal seized the AL ERA lead, posting 2.1854 against Garrett Crochet’s 2.1946, underscoring his strong season.
- For the Tigers, the AL Central lead extends to 11 games as Skubal's dominant performance snapped a six-game losing streak.
- Historical precedents underscores the rarity, as Roger Clemens, former Red Sox and Yankees pitcher, won consecutive Cy Youngs in 1986-87 and 1997-98, and Jim Palmer, former Orioles pitcher, did so in 1975-76.
