Tarik Skubal has strengthened his case for a second straight AL Cy Young Award. On Sunday night, he struck out 11 batters with no walks in Detroit's 2-1 win over Texas.

Tarik Skubal delivered a passionate message following a solid performance on the mound in the Tigers' 2-1 win over the Rangers on Sunday.

Cameron Maybin knows Detroit fans are protective of Tarik Skubal, and he stirred the pot anyway. The former Tigers and Yankees outfielder warned the Tigers that if they don’t lock up the reigning Cy Young Award winner now, he would certainly look perfect in Yankee Stadium wearing pinstripes.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — It was naturally a superb start by Tarik Skubal that resulted in a 2-1 Detroit Tigers win over the Texas Rangers on Sunday night that ended a season-worst six-game losing streak for the team with the best record in the major leagues. However, Skubal didn’t get credit for the victory.

The Tigers picked up their 60th win of the season on Sunday against the Texas Rangers, and they became the first team to achieve that feat this season. Tarik Skubal was masterful in the win, and he is just happy that his team escaped with a victory.

Tarik Skubal has the Tigers atop the AL Central with the best record in baseball. But that didn't stop former Tigers outfielder Cameron Maybin from floating the potential for him to leave Detroit in free agency.

The likes of the Dodgers, Yankees and Mets could be bidding up to $400 million when Tarik Skubal becomes a free agent, per Buster Olney.

“Tarik Skubal has joined the super upper echelon of greatness/domination in Major League Baseball inhabited only by Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani and him,” Heyman tweeted to his nearly one million followers.

The Tigers have the best record in baseball largely due to Tarik Skubal's ace-caliber prowess on the mound. But if they fail to re-sign him, the Yankees could come calling.
