Tigers Blow Skubal's Final Start Lead in Loss to Orioles

Tarik Skubal recorded his 1,000th strikeout, but the Detroit Tigers surrendered a 7-1 lead to the Baltimore Orioles, who eventually won in the 12th inning.

Tarik Skubal threw 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball and earned a standing ovation for his milestone strikeout. However, the bullpen collapse began immediately after his exit, allowing the Orioles to tie the game. Spencer Torkelson later hit his 100th career home run to force extra innings. catcross.biz

Despite Torkelson's clutch homer, the Orioles completed the comeback. Colton Cowser drove in the winning run in the bottom of the 12th, securing a victory for Baltimore despite falling behind early.
