The start
Skubal allowed four hits, struck out seven and walked none. He retired 12 straight batters after a leadoff double before Detroit scored in the fifth.
The return
Detroit welcomed him with a tribute video and standing ovation. Skubal had spent seven years with the Tigers and won two AL Cy Young Awards there.
The trade context
The Tigers traded Skubal to Los Angeles on August 2 for three prospects. Freddie Freeman's eighth-inning single supplied the winning run Friday.
