LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 Tarik Skubal yielded three runs on four hits while pitching five innings in the back-to-back Cy Young Award winner’s home debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers against Kansas City on Monday night.<\/p>\n
Skubal left with the Dodgers trailing 3-2 after a decent, if unspectacular, first start in the home whites. Although he struck out six, Skubal didn’t live up to manager Dave Roberts’ pregame prediction of \u201can electric night\u201d for the vaunted left-hander and his slumping club, which lost eight of nine heading into this homestand.<\/p>\n
