The Los Angeles Dodgers win 6-5 over the Kansas City Royals in Tarik Skubal’s home debut at Dodger Stadium. Multiple reports say the Dodgers needed a late push to secure the series opener, overcoming a start that did not go smoothly for their new-looking look in his outing.
Across outlets, Skubal’s performance is described as uneven. Yahoo Sports notes he looks mediocre in his first home start for the Dodgers, even as the team rallies to win. Other accounts emphasize the final result and describe Skubal’s line in the game, including allowing four hits and three runs while striking out six, and pitching through a difficult debut despite the Dodgers ultimately “muster[ing] just enough” to take the win.
