Jac Caglianone crushed a two-run homer off Tarik Skubal in Skubal's Los Angeles debut, drilling an 0-2 slider with a reported 110.8 mph exit velocity to give the Kansas City Royals an early lead. Tarik Skubal worked five innings, struck out six, threw 95 pitches with 66 strikes and allowed four hits and three earned runs. Los Angeles rallied in the sixth inning for three runs and ultimately won 6-5. Skubal called it "a good team win" while saying he did not feel he performed up to his standard. The Dodgers have lost 10 of their last 14 games, and the Skubal start highlighted both bullpen support and lingering concerns about the club's recent form. The homer off Skubal was a notable moment in an otherwise uneven outing for the newly arrived Dodger starter.
