Skubal hits 100 mph in the 4th inning in Cleveland. His day is over after 4 2/3 innings, 80 pitches, 5 hits, 3 runs (2 earned), 1 walk, 4 Ks. His stuff is there, which bodes well for the lefty and the Tigers.
Most extra-base hits in first 22 career games, age 20 or younger since at least 1900:
2015 Carlos Correa: 14
1958 Orlando Cepeda: 13
1932 Joe Medwick: 13
2026 Colt Emerson: 12
2017 Rafael Devers: 12
1946 Del Ennis: 12
1939 Ted Williams: 12
From the great @SlangsOnSports: That Schneemann homer off Skubal was just the fifth in Skubal's career on an 0-2 count, and it was just the third HR by a lefty on an 0-2 count.
Cam Schlittler starts today. youtu.be/mLa7XWFlDDg He spoke on the podcast the other day about his development as a pitcher, throwing at high velocity, his playoff start against the Red Sox, Aaron Judge as a teammate.
The Five
1. The Miz throws 104.5 mph in one-hit shutout; no walks, 15 Ks. Cy frontrunner?
2. Yordan Alvarez two HR in first inning. AL MVP frontrunner?
3. Like Old Times: Red Sox 3 HR, dominate in Fenway. Gray is 8-1, 3.03.
4. White Sox pick up 37th win, over LAD. 6 games over .500.
5. Busch splashdown in McCovey Cove; Cubs stay 2 games over .500.
