DETROIT — Tarik Skubal felt like he gave up a lot more than four runs. The reigning American League Cy Young winner and Detroit Tigers ace delivered a shaky outing against the Seattle Mariners Friday night, something that he’s rarely done this season.

The Detroit Tigers are now all but guaranteed to have their first pitcher starting an All-Star game in over a decade.

Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal has been named to the Major League Baseball All-Star game in Atlanta, joining American League starters and teammates Gleyber Torres, Riley Greene, and Javier Báez.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers are flipping the order of their starting rotation for the final series before the All-Star break. Ace left-hander Tarik Skubal, who would have normally pitched on Saturday, will now start Friday’s series opener against the Seattle Mariners at 7:10 p.m. at Comerica Park.

Tarik Skubal has been virtually spotless at home so far in 2025, dominating to the point that the Detroit Tigers lefty stands alone in the MLB history books.
