Why Detroit Tigers rookie Tarik Skubal was ahead of the curve in 2020 Detroit Tigers left-handed rookie Tarik Skubal exceeded expectations in his first MLB season — a sign of even more success to come.

Fans six in loss Skubal (1-4) allowed two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings Sunday to take the loss against the Royals.

Impact Skubal served as the primary pitcher in the regular-season finale, and he began his outing with two scoreless innings. However, he gave up solo home runs to lead off the fourth and fifth innings, which gave the Royals a lead that the Tigers' offense couldn't overcome. The 23-year-old showed promise in his first taste of major-league action in 2020, posting a 5.63 ERA and 37:11 K:BB over 32 innings across eight starts.

Following opener Sunday Skubal will pitch out of the bullpen following an opener Sunday against the Royals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Each of Skubal's first seven MLB appearances have come as a starter, though his workload looks more like that of a multi-inning relief pitcher, as he's averaged less than four innings per appearance. He'll handle a handful of innings Sunday, but it will be Jordan Zimmermann on the hill to start the game.

No-decision Tuesday Skubal didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's contest between the Tigers and the Twins. He allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while fanning six across 3.2 innings.

Impact Skubal has failed to complete four innings in four of his seven starts this season, but he has fanned at least six in three of his last four starts. He can't be trusted to pitch deep into games, but Skubal has shown the ability to miss bats and will try to close out the season on a strong note in Detroit's season finale at Kansas City on Sunday.

Strikes out six in short start Skubal allowed two runs on four hits across 3.2 innings in Tuesday's loss to the Twins. He walked two and struck out six.

Impact It was a mixed bag for Skubal, as he showed good swing-and-miss stuff but was also taken deep twice. The young lefty was removed in the fourth inning after a single, a walk and a hit batter loaded the bases with two outs. Skubal now has a 6.00 ERA this season, though his 31 strikeouts in just 27 innings offer a glimpse at his upside. The 23-year-old is lined up to pitch the season finale Sunday against the Royals to wrap up his rookie campaign.

Strong in losing effort Skubal (1-3) allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits and no walks while striking out eight across six innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Royals.

Impact Skubal was a tough-luck loser as he was outdueled by Brady Singer. He surrendered a two-run home run to the third batter he faced, but settled in to strike out a career-best eight hitters. That was backed by an impressive 17 swinging strikes, a positive step in the right direction for Skubal. It's been an up and down rookie season for him, as he has a 6.17 ERA but a promising 25:8 K:BB across 23.1 frames. He'll line up to take his next start Tuesday at Minnesota.
