Skubal allowed two runs on four hits over three innings in Monday's loss to Pittsburgh. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.
Skubal served up a two-run shot to Kevin Newman in the first inning before recording an out but he settled in after that. He retired the final eight batters he faced and threw 36-of-50 pitches for strikes. The 24-year-old southpaw has given up two or fewer runs in five of his last six outings, lowering his season ERA to 4.30. Skubal is projected to face Milwaukee at home next week.
