Even Cy Young Award winners can experience career firsts. Tarik Skubal experienced a rather frustrating first on Tuesday.
Skubal was called for his first career balk in the bottom of the sixth inning against the Cardinals. The call with Willson Contreras at the plate allowed Masyn Winn, who led off with an infield single, to advance to second. Winn eventually scored on an Iván Herrera single that ended the Tigers ace’s night.
