Days of Roar Tigers Podcast. Should Detroit Tigers let Tarik Skubal pitch deeper into games? 70 minutes.
Tarik Skubal is the ace of the Detroit Tigers — so should manager A.J. Hinch allow him to pitch deeper into games, even in late May? After throwing a complete game shutout on 94 pitches, Skubal was pulled at 90 pitches after seven scoreless innings and replaced by reliever Beau Brieske. By the eighth inning, the Tigers were trailing and ultimately lost, 1-0, to the Kansas City Royals in a key American League Central matchup. Hear from Hinch and former Tigers ace Justin Verlander about Skubal's workload, including why Hinch made the decision to pull him from the game. Also on this episode: Parker Meadows returns from the injured list to make his 2025 season debut, with Justyn-Henry Malloy optioned to Triple-A Toledo; West Michigan Whitecaps broadcaster Dan Hasty talks about top prospects Kevin McGonigle, Max Clark, Josue Briceño, plus a bounce-back season for Izaac Pacheco; injury updates on Jackson Jobe, Matt Vierling, Reese Olson and Sawyer Gipson-Long; the Spencer Torkelson-Riley Greene show continues.
Tigers have allowed 1 - 0 - 1 run the past 3 games.
Final line for
Tigers starter Jack Flaherty: 6.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K. 99 pitches, 66 strikes. Flaherty owns a 2.22 ERA with six walks and 26 strikeouts across 24.1 innings in his past four starts, including one run in his last 12 innings.
Parker Meadows. Immediate impact. The ball off Andrew Benintendi's bat had a .950 expected batting average — but Meadows charged in and made a diving catch, robbing him of an RBI single and ending the first inning.
