Tarik Skubal of the Tigers wants all the smoke after taking out the Guardians

The Detroit Tigers star gave the Tigers another phenomenal start in a critical situation against the Cleveland Guardians in Game 2 of the ALDS. Skubal threw seven scoreless innings over 92 pitches with eight strikeouts to keep the Tigers alive in a scoreless contest against Cleveland.

He started with a perfect first four innings, but then had to escape trouble in the fifth and sixth innings, both with inning-ending double plays. After giving up a double and then hitting a batter in the fifth inning, he got Andrés Giménez to run a 4-6-3 double play, putting a runner in scoring position.
