Another Tigers' starter down, another loss; Skubal drilled in leg by liner in 5th

CLEVELAND — Then there were none.

Tarik Skubal, the last uninjured member of the Tigers’ original starting rotation, limped off the field after pitching five scoreless innings in Detroit's 6-1 loss to the Guardians of Cleveland Friday night at Progressive Field.

He was drilled in the lower part of his left leg with a line drive struck with an exit velocity of 104 mph by left fielder Ernie Clement.
