Tigers first team to 60 wins thanks to another Tarik Skubal gem

The Tigers were one of the biggest surprises in baseball a year ago, winning 86 games and taking the ALDS to five games. They have not only shown that performance was not a fluke, but they've improved on it to become the best team in baseball through the first 100 games of the season. 

Their .600 winning percentage is on track to be their highest since the 1987 season. 

With an ace like Skubal leading their rotation, they are going to be a team that nobody wants to see in a short series.

And on Sunday, Skubal did exactly what an ace is supposed to do when his team is on a losing streak. He dominated. It continues what has been a dominant season that has seen his ERA drop to 2.19 for the season. That is tops in the American League and second only to Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Paul Skenes in all of Major League Baseball. If things continue on this current trajectory, Skubal is going to have a second straight American League Cy Young award to put in his trophy case. He might also give the Tigers a chance to win an even bigger trophy, given how good the team has been.
