BOSTON, MA - SEPTEMBER 27: Tarik Skubal #29 of the Detroit Tigers celebrates on the field after advancing to the playoffs by winning the game between the Detroit Tigers and the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Saturday, September 27, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts.

The Sox take on Tarik Skubal, who received a big early boost in the Cy Young race when Garrett Crochet got rocked earlier this week.
Of course, Skubal doesn’t really need the help, as he’s rocking a 2. 22 ERA so far in his bid to hold onto the title of Best Pitcher in the World for a third straight season. He’s opposed by Brayan Bello, who has, ahh, not quite been in Cy Young form so far this year.
But he is coming off his best and longest start of the season, so hopefully he can keep the momentum going. First pitch is at 4:10 PM and the game is back on NESN. Skub on the mound in Boston ⚾️ 4:10 PM ET 📺 @WatchDSN 📻 @971theticketxyt 🏟️ Fenway Park pic.
