Tigers 4, Red Sox 1: It’s Tarik Skubal

One Lonely Stud

**Jovani Moran: 3 IP, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 H, 3 K** I was going to go with the bullpen as a collective for this. But that would’ve been unfair to Moran, who single-handedly kept his team in the game. Moran hasn’t impressed much in his career so far, but that career has also been marked by injury and bad luck. He could turn himself into an unheralded weapon at the back of the Sox’ roster this year.

Three Duds

**Trevor Story: 0-4, 3 K** I’m tempted to warn people that this could be the year that Trevir Story falls of a cliff. But let’s face it: Story’s relationship to cliffs has been Homer Simpson-esque ever since he showed up in Boston. **Brayan Bello: 4.0 IP**, **4 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 4 K, 1 HR** Bello wasn’t terrible today. But he also wasn’t good. And he’s going to need to figure out how to be good soon, because right now he’s the weak link in the Sox’ rotation and Payton Tolle is punching the route from Worcester to Boston into Google Maps. **Barometric pressure or cold fronts or whatever** I’m tired of watching cold, raw baseball games and I’m calling on OTM weather guru Matt Gross to fix this.
