The 27-year-old All-Star left-hander racked up eight strikeouts on the evening while allowing only one base on balls. All of the scoring done against him -- and both of the hits -- came in the fourth inning as Freddie Freeman clubbed a solo homer and Andy Pages chipped in a run-scoring single. Skubal generated 14 swings and misses on 101 pitches on the night -- seven on his changeup -- while registering a strong CSW of 38 percent. Unfortunately, after exiting with a one-run lead, the Tigers' bullpen couldn't hang on for him. Skubal finishes an unbelievable first half with a 10-3 record, 2.41 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and a 140/21 K/BB ratio over 116 innings in 19 starts. His next assignment could be to start the All-Star game.
The 28-year-old right-hander punched out four batters on the night. He served up a two-run homer to Will Smith before he recorded an out in the ballgame then allowed a third run as Andy Pages bounced into a fielder's choice in the opening inning. He settled in nicely afterwards, but still needed 104 pitches (64 strikes) to get through 12 outs. Peralta got a whopping 21 swings and misses on the night -- 10 of those on his slider -- while posting a CSW of 29 percent. He'll look to finish the first half strong as he totes a 3.95 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and a 124/36 K/BB ratio (98 innings) into Friday's showdown against the Nationals.
