Tarik Skubal dominates

The Detroit Tigers have been the first in baseball to 30, 40, 50 and 60 wins in 2025. Maybe they should let someone else take the lead for a while?
Skubal showed why he’s the favorite to win the Cy Young for a second straight year, striking out 11 with no walks Sunday night in Detroit’s 2-1 victory over Texas. If the Cy Young indeed goes to him, he’ll be the first AL pitcher to earn it in back-to-back seasons since Pedro Martinez’s remarkable stretch with the Red Sox in 1999 and 2000.
Tarik Skubal has the Tigers atop the AL Central with the best record in baseball. But that didn't stop former Tigers outfielder Cameron Maybin from floating the potential for him to leave Detroit in free agency.
