Tarik Skubal Greeted Mostly with Cheers and Smattering of Boos in Detroit Return with Dodgers
Skubal allowed one run and struck out seven in six innings as the Dodgers won on Freddie Freeman’s go-ahead hit.
- On Friday, August 28, 2026, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tarik Skubal returned to Comerica Park to face his former team, allowing one run and striking out seven over six innings in a 2-1 victory.
- Detroit traded the two-time AL Cy Young winner to the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 29, 2026, for three prospects after the Tigers fell to 51-58, prioritizing future assets over a potential free agent departure.
- Mixed cheers and boos greeted Skubal during a pre-game video tribute from the sellout crowd, though he remained efficient on the mound, needing just 83 pitches to stifle his former teammates.
- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts credited Skubal's temperament for handling the homecoming, while Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said the pitcher's work in Detroit "merits a ton of respect."
- Projections suggest Skubal could secure an $400 million contract in free agency, a valuation critical for the Dodgers as they pursue a historic third consecutive World Series title.
