Tigers, Skubal fight 'tooth and nail' in comeback win over White Sox.
The energy was back at Comerica Park Friday night.
Packed house (41,353) on a gorgeous night with ace lefty Tarik Skubal back on the home mound for the first time since April 23, pitching against the Central Division-leading White Sox, who swept the Tigers in Chicago at the beginning of the month.
"Great night, great crowd, Friday night and what that brings is a ton of emotion in itself," manager AJ Hinch said. "And usually you can multiply it with Tarik. It's just a ton of emotion and competitiveness."

Tigers' Tarik Skubal trash-talks with White Sox after clutch strikeout.
Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal unleashed his emotions after a clutch strikeout.
Not in the way he normally does.
This time, Skubal exchanged words with Chicago White Sox left-handed reliever Mike Vasil as he walked to the dugout after striking out Colson Montgomery (for the third time in as many plate appearances) to strand the bases loaded in the top of the fifth inning Friday, June 19, at Comerica Park.

Detroit Tigers save Tarik Skubal in close win vs Chicago White Sox.
Tarik Skubal wasn't perfect.
The reigning two-time American League Cy Young winner made some mistakes in his second start since returning from the injured list, including a pair of changeups that stayed too close to the middle of the strike zone and resulted in solo home runs.
Despite those mistakes, the Detroit Tigers prevailed in a 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday, June 19, in the first of three games in the series at Comerica Park.

SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

The Washington Nationals are only 1 of the latest rebuilding teams in MLB. They are making the news now because, for the first time since 2019, they have just reached the .500 mark (just 3 games over).
After winning the World Series in 2019, they spent the next 5 years (we’re omitting 2020) in last place with 91 – 107 losses every year. Not a single player from their WS roster remains and fans are still hesitant to embrace their improvement.
Unlike the Tigers, the Nats did win that ring but it came as a huge cost. After 2019, Washington traded away every single star player including Juan Soto, Trea Turner and Max Scherzer. Eight top players alone were traded in 1 day.

The Tigers traded off many, but not all of their fan favorites, over a period of 3 years.
As a Tiger fan, how badly would you want that World Series ring?
Would you be willing to experience what happened to the Nationals fans for the last 6+ years?
To see every talented player traded off in one fell swoop?
To see an entirely unfamiliar roster substituted instead?
To see players like Soto and Turner become top 10 players in MLB – but for other teams?
How important is getting that World Series Championship flag to you?

How badly would you want the Tigers to win a World Series?

1. Willing to duplicate what the Nationals' fans experienced.

2. Not willing to sacrifice years of misery for just 1 year of greatness.
