In the top of the ninth, against feared Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase, Spencer Torkelson reached after being hit by a pitch. Pinch-runner Zach McKinstry stole second, advanced to third on a groundout and then dashed home on an unfathomable two-strike, two-out wild pitch by Clase.

Tarik Skubal’s disappointment isn’t without merit, as several other Tigers players have strong cases for All-Star inclusion. Casey Mize, the team’s No. 2 starter, owns a 9-2 record with a 2.63 ERA in 15 starts, while Spencer Torkelson has delivered power at the plate with 20 home runs and 56 RBIs.

Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal has been added to the roster for the All-Star Game, becoming the fourth Detroit player on the American League team.
