Falls to Phillies
Skubal (5-5) took the loss Sunday against the Phillies, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out five.
Analysis
While Skubal has now given up two runs or fewer in each of his last three outings, he was stuck with the loss Sunday, as the Tigers' offense couldn't muster anything against Zack Wheeler in an eventual 5-0 defeat. Skubal will head into the All-Star break with a 3.09 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 89:11 K:BB across 13 starts (75.2 innings).

Nine Ks again in win
Skubal (5-4) earned the win against the Athletics on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks with nine strikeouts over five innings.
Analysis
Skubal allowed a homer for the fifth straight game since returning from the injured list but was otherwise strong, throwing 62 of 96 pitches for strikes with a whopping 22 whiffs. The southpaw has yielded just two earned runs across back-to-back victories and has recorded exactly nine punchouts in three straight outings. He owns a 3.06 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 84:10 K:BB across 70.2 innings this season and lines up to face the Phillies at home this weekend in his final matchup before the All-Star break.
