Tarik Skubal made a strong impression in what could be his final start for the Detroit Tigers on July 29, 2026. At Comerica Park, he pitched 6 ⅔ innings, allowing three runs on four hits while striking out six batters, but the Tigers fell to the Baltimore Orioles, 10-9, after extra innings. Detroit held a 7-0 lead going into the seventh before a bullpen collapse allowed the Orioles to tie the game. The loss drops the Tigers to 51-58, with the trade deadline approaching and Skubal likely to be moved as a free agent this offseason. He recorded his 1,000th career strikeout during the game, becoming the fastest in franchise history to reach that milestone in 857 innings.
