Tarik Skubal stays in game after injury scare; Tigers fall to Yankees

Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal, 29, experienced a groin injury scare in the third inning on June 24 but remained in the game after a mound visit from the training staff. He ultimately allowed four runs and three home runs across six innings — his first three-homer game since September 30, 2021 — as the Tigers lost 4-2 to the New York Yankees in the series finale at Comerica Park. The defeat dropped Detroit to 34-46, leaving them 7.5 games back, and snapped a four-game winning streak.
