DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers are flipping the order of their starting rotation for the final series before the All-Star break. Ace left-hander Tarik Skubal, who would have normally pitched on Saturday, will now start Friday’s series opener against the Seattle Mariners at 7:10 p.m. at Comerica Park.

Detroit's ace pitched 10 scoreless innings against Cleveland and got plenty of help from his teammates along the way.

Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal has been named the American League starter for the 2025 Major League Baseball All-Star Game.

The starting pitchers for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game are set. Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Paul Skenes will open the game on the mound for the National League, while Detroit Tigers lefty Tarik Skubal will start for the American League. Both Skenes and Skubal are making their second consecutive All-Star appearances.

DETROIT — Tarik Skubal felt like he gave up a lot more than four runs. The reigning American League Cy Young winner and Detroit Tigers ace delivered a shaky outing against the Seattle Mariners Friday night, something that he’s rarely done this season.
