Tarik Skubal returned to Detroit for the first time since his trade to the Dodgers, pitching six strong innings in Los Angeles' 2-1 victory over his former team. According to Sportsnet, the Tigers honored Skubal with a video tribute before the game, and the two-time Cy Young Award winner was greeted with cheers and a smattering of boos from the crowd.

Skubal held Detroit to four hits and one run in the contest. Yahoo Sports reported that the Tigers' offense remained quiet throughout, while the Dodgers' bullpen provided support. The Dodgers scored one run in the sixth inning to tie the game and another in the eighth to take the lead, according to one account of the game.

The victory ended a three-game losing streak for Los Angeles. Skubal had spent seven seasons with Detroit before the trade to the two-time defending World Series champions.
