Skubal finished his start against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday after seven innings, giving up just one hit and one walk while striking out 13 - tying a career-high.
The Tigers would go on to win 3-0 as they improved their record to 53-32, which is now tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the best record in all of baseball.
The reigning American League Cy Young Award winner is looking to defend his title. Skubal is currently 10-2 on the season with a 2.15 earned run average (ERA) and a 0.83 WHIP.
His 138 strikeouts currently lead all starting pitchers as of June 29th, lying just three ahead of Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet, who has 135 this year - a stat reminiscent of 2024 when Skubal led the AL in strikeouts with 228 to Chris Sale's 225.
With opposing batters hitting just .196, Skubal looks to continue his dominance in a year that he has already recorded seven shutouts in 17 starts.
