Tigers' Tarik Skubal Sends Clear Paul Skenes Message After Loss to Pirates originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The baseball world was robbed of a tremendous pitching matchup on Thursday, as while Pirates ace Paul Skenes toed the slab for Pittsburgh, Tigers ace Tarik Skubal was tabbed to pitch on Thursday's game at Comerica Park.

The Pittsburgh Pirates once again let down Paul Skenes after he made history on the mound, a consistent theme of his second MLB season.

After trailing 4-0 early, the Tigers rallied to force extra innings, but couldn't score in the 10th to lose, 8-4, to Pittsburgh.
