On August 28, Tarik Skubal made a highly anticipated return to Detroit as he started for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Tigers. The game was closely contested but the Tigers struggled offensively, ultimately losing 2-1. Skubal, despite some nervousness early on, struck out multiple batters, and the Dodgers bullpen proved effective in stifling the Tigers' attack. Drew Anderson also had a strong outing for Detroit, but any hopes for a comeback were thwarted, as they could not capitalize on their scoring opportunities.
