Skubal Makes History with Career-First Complete Game
Tarik Skubal, a pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, had an amazing game!
He pitched a 'complete game,' meaning he finished the whole game without any other pitchers helping him.
He struck out 13 batters, which is like him sending 13 players back to the dugout without them getting a chance to hit the ball.
He didn't let any players walk to first base, and he only allowed two hits.
This was the first time he has done this in his MLB career, and he achieved it with less than 100 pitches.
He also threw one of the fastest pitches ever recorded, which made the fans very excited.
Skubal said he was touched and grateful for the support.

The game was a 5-0 victory for the Tigers against the Guardians.
