    You never know when history is going to strike at a Detroit Tigers game. Well, let’s walk that back a bit … if Tarik Skubal is on the mound, you have to at least be on the lookout for history. And, of course, the Tigers ace didn’t disappoint on Sunday, May 25, with his first career MLB shutout (not to mention his first complete game in ) … complete with a historic punctuation mark. His first “Maddux” (a complete-game shutout with fewer than 100 pitches).

    How do we measure team success in MLB? Put another way … how can we tell just how good these Detroit Tigers are? Wins and losses? That’s one way: The Tigers’ four-game series win this weekend against the Angels put them at 22-13, tops in the American League … but only tied for third in the majors (with the Giants at 22-13 and behind the Padres at 22-11 and the Dodgers at 23-11).
