Tarik Skubal had one of the oddest starts of the season against the Cardinals, allowing 10 hits without giving up an extra-base hit—all singles—but the Dodgers scraped together a walk-off win to cap a bizarre night, per MLB.com.

Skubal has been one of the more reliable arms on our staff this season. The left-hander’s ability to locate and miss bats typically keeps traffic off the basepaths, but tonight the opposite happened. Ten singles is an unusual way to work through a start—it speaks to batters putting the ball in play consistently without doing damage, which can sometimes be more frustrating than a few hard-hit shots. The fact we came away with a walk-off anyway says something about our resilience at the plate and execution when it mattered most.

This is the kind of game that sticks with a team heading into September. We’re in the stretch run, health is fragile across the rotation, and a win like this—even an ugly one—keeps momentum intact. Strange nights can sometimes be the most memorable ones.
