""Skubal recorded his 12th scoreless start of at least six innings this season in a 6-0 win over the Chicago White Sox at Comerica Park. That's tied with Adam Wainwright (2014) for the most scoreless starts in a season since the mound was lowered in 1969, per MLB.com's Sarah Langs. In the process, he lowered his ERA to an AL-best 2.10 and retook the AL strikeouts lead (222) from Boston's Garrett Crochet with six K's.""
""What Skubal has done the last two starts since the A's got him in a 24-pitch seventh inning has been a display of efficiency," Beck writes. "His longest inning since then was a 20-pitch second inning last Sunday in Kansas City, the only inning in his last two starts in which he has allowed multiple baserunners. He has racked up 10 strikeouts over two starts combined, but he has avoided the long at-bats that would run up his pitch count.""
Tarik Skubal recorded his 12th scoreless start of at least six innings during a 6-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox, tying Adam Wainwright (2014) for the most such starts since the 1969 mound lowering. Skubal lowered his ERA to an American League-best 2.10 and reclaimed the AL strikeout lead with 222. He worked seven scoreless innings, allowing two hits and one walk on 90 pitches while striking out six. Skubal has been notably efficient since Aug. 25, avoiding long at-bats and minimizing high pitch-count innings across recent starts.
