Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal recorded his first victory of the season in his latest start.
Skubal will look to post back-to-back wins for the first time in his career when he faces the visiting Cleveland Indians in the second game of a four-game series on Tuesday.
Last Wednesday, heheld the Seattle Mariners to two runs on four hits and struck out a career-high nine in five innings.
Skubal (1-6, 5.45 ERA) allowed a two-run homer in the first inning, then settled in.
"I loved how he didn't let anything get to him," Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. "He was a little frustrated with himself after the walk and homer in the first, but he never carried it to the next at-bat. He finished his outing very, very strong."
