Dodgers’ Skid Continues as Tarik Skubal Endures Rough Home Debut, Tagged by Jac Caglianone
The Los Angeles Dodgers’ struggles persisted as new pitcher Tarik Skubal had a difficult home debut, allowing three runs to the Kansas City Royals. The highlight of Skubal’s rough outing was an unexpected 0-2 count home run by Jac Caglianone, an unlikely hit given Caglianone’s prior stats and Skubal’s typical splits. While the performance might raise minor concerns, the Dodgers’ acquisition of Skubal is viewed as a long-term strategic move.
