Skubal gets off to perfect start
Skubal displayed good command of all his pitches in the early going and recorded five strikeouts in the first four innings.
He used his fastball and slider as his strikeout pitches. Trevor Larnach whiffed on a slider and Jeffers went down swinging at a fastball in the second inning.
Max Kepler fanned on a slider and Gilberto Celestino flailed at a fastball on the outside corner in the third.
Josh Donaldson struck out on a foul tip into Jake Rogers’ glove during the fourth.
Skubal’s dominance continued until one out in the fifth, when Jeffers deposited a 96-MPH fastball just over the left field wall for Minnesota’s first hit.
