Tensions flared during a game between the Tigers and Angels as pitcher Tarik Skubal yelled at Zach Neto after striking him out. This confrontation was likely fueled by Neto's earlier home run against Skubal. Following the incident, Angels manager Ron Washington noted the competitive spirit involved, suggesting it was a natural reaction between two competitors. Both players downplayed the event, emphasizing that the intensity is part of the sport, though Skubal acknowledged he might need to be smarter next time. The game concluded with a clear victory for the Tigers, 9-1, without further altercations.
It's competition. It's nothing personal at the end of the day. I think he's a really good baseball player. It's just competition, and I think it brings out the best in everybody.
I can only guess, because I never checked into it. He probably said something to Neto, because after Neto struck out, he was walking away. So two competitors.
