Austin Hedges

Skubal gave up 10 hits, but a second-inning run-scoring single from light-hitting backstop Austin Hedges represented the lone tally against him over seven frames. He was staked to a four-run lead by the second inning, and was able to cruise to his 11th victory of the year. He generated 15 swinging strikes and finished with a near-elite 35 percent CSW. There have been persistent rumors swirling around Skubal in the lead up to next week's trade deadline, but it's going to take an astronomical prospect haul to pry him away from Detroit. The 27-year-old southpaw holds a sparkling 2.34 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 146/22 K/BB ratio across 123 innings (20 starts) and finds himself in line to face the division-rival Twins on Saturday, barring something unforeseen.

Alex Faedo started the ninth inning with a two-run advantage, but he allowed run and had the tying run at third base with only one out when manager A.J. Hinch turned to Foley. The 28-year-old right-hander got Tyler Freeman to bounce to first baseman Gio Urshela who cut down the potential tying run at the plate. After an intentional walk and a wild pitch put two runners back in scoring position, Foley got Austin Hedges to ground out to short to end it. Foley now sports a 3.41 ERA to go with 15 saves in 17 chances on the season.

Naylor was called on to hit for Austin Hedges in the sixth inning with the Guardians trailing 3-2. He responded with a 378-foot home run that gave the Guardians a lead they would never give up. The 24-year-old is hitting just .205 on the season with five home runs, so he'll need to do this a little more often to get back on the fantasy radar.
