Hinch said it best — that was vintage Tarik Skubal. Skubal notched a career-high 14 strikeouts in his 7 2/3 innings of work, allowing three hits, one run and three walks. That also matched the Tigers’ franchise record for most strikeouts in a postseason game, tying Joe Coleman in the 1972 ALCS. Max Scherzer is the only other Tigers pitcher to record 13-plus strikeouts in a postseason game. For the game, Skubal had a whiff rate of 46% — well above his already top-notch season rate of 32.5%.
