Tigers surge to 5-1 record following Skubal trade
Detroit has won five of six games since dealing Skubal, a notable stretch that began after a loss to the Orioles prompted the move.
The Tigers posted a 5-1 record in the games following the Tarik Skubal trade, which was triggered by a loss to Baltimore. The strong run suggests Detroit's roster has responded well despite losing a key pitcher. The stretch covers approximately one week of play. Beat reporter Jon Morosi flagged the record as noteworthy context around the trade decision.
