Skubal (6-10) took the loss Friday as the Tigers fell 4-3 to the Orioles, giving up four runs on seven hits -- including three home runs -- and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.
Things could have been worse for the lefty, as all three O's homers were solo shots, but keeping the ball in the yard has become a major problem for Skubal. He's served up eight homers in his last four starts, going 1-3 over that stretch with a 5.16 ERA despite a 1.06 WHIP. His upside remains intriguing, but he'll be a tough pitcher to rely on until he solves this issue.
