Tyler, now 31, was Tarik's most frequent and most combative opponent. They would wrestle or play one-on-one basketball games, what Tyler calls "Skubal Games" played by "Skubal Rules," which meant the defense calls fouls and "nobody ever thinks they foul, so most Skubal Games started out competitive and ended up as boxing matches."

Detroit's ace pitched 10 scoreless innings against Cleveland and got plenty of help from his teammates along the way.

CLEVELAND -- Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal will join three teammates at the 2025 MLB All-Star Game on July 15 in Atlanta. To no one’s surprise, Skubal was added to the American League roster on Sunday evening. He joins outfielders Javier Báez and Riley Greene and second baseman Gleyber Torres, all of whom were elected as starters by fans.
