Skubal wanted to start the first game today, but he might have had some regrets after the beginning of the game was delayed and then wound up starting in the rain anyway. Things did get better as the afternoon went along, and while Skubal didn’t have one of his stronger outings, he was plenty good enough while getting nine runs of support. He’s won eight straight decisions after taking losses in his first two starts this season. He’s due to face the A’s next week.

Torres had one of the Tigers’ four sac flies today. He’s hitting .281/.380/.424 this season, and he seems like a strong candidate to make the AL All-Star team after a long absence. He was picked for the Midsummer Classic in each of his first two seasons in 2018 and ’19, but he hasn’t gone to one since.

The double probably would have been caught by a better center fielder than Billy Cook and certainly should have been a single at worst, but it got past Cook’s dive and cleared the bases. It gave Greene his fourth four-RBI game of the year. He had just three of those total in his previous three seasons.

The Pirates decided not to throw Paul Skenes up against Tarik Skubal because we can’t have nice things. That means Andrew Heaney will take the mound in Game 1, and both Carpenter and Colt Keith will be on the bench. They should return for Game 2, but Jahmai Jones will DH in Game 1.
