Skubal gets 'nerves' in 1st LA start as Dodger: 'This one was special to me'

Tarik Skubal made his Dodger Stadium home debut on Monday night after being acquired from the Tigers on August 1, pitching five innings and allowing three earned runs on four hits while striking out six on 95 pitches. The two-time Cy Young Award winner gave up an early run in the first inning and a two-run home run to Jac Caglianone in the third, but the Dodgers ultimately won 6-5 over the Kansas City Royals. Skubal described the start as emotional, admitting to nerves before calling it a special moment in his career.
