DETROIT, JUL 21 – Skubal lowered his ERA to 2.63 and struck out 11 batters with no walks, leading Detroit to a key win and positioning him as the favorite for a second straight Cy Young Award.
- In Detroit's latest outing, Skubal struck out 11 batters with no walks Sunday night in a 2-1 win over Texas, marking him as the favorite for a second straight AL Cy Young Award.
