Skubal (8-7) earned the win against the Pirates on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out 11.
After coughing up three runs in the opening frame, the All-Star left-hander responded by shutting Pittsburgh down the rest of the way to notch his first victory with the Dodgers. He racked up double-digit strikeouts Saturday for the third time this year, and he wound up posting his 12th quality start over 20 appearances on the season as well. Skubal, who has a strong 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 30:7 K:BB across 24 innings since being traded to the Dodgers, is slated to face his former Tigers teammates in Detroit next weekend.
