Detroit Tigers star Tarik Pushal claimed himself as one of Major League Baseball’s best pitchers on Sunday with a dominant performance in a win over Cleveland Guardians.
Pushal completed what is known in the main subjects as “Maddux” – a nod to the Baseball Hall of Famer Greg Maddux. To achieve the bang, a jug must throw a closure in at least nine laps with fewer than 100 seats thrown. The statistics were established in 2012.

The Tigers jug lasted in all nine laps, allowed two hits and struck 13 slaughterers. He threw 94 seats. Detroit won the game 5-0 when the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner ended the first complete game of his career.
“I don’t know what to say because you don’t see it very often,” said Tigers -Manager AJ Hinch. “When he has full intensity and full throttle, the sky is the limit.”
He became the only big league player to threw a shutout with 13 or more strikes and fewer than 100 pitchers since seats began to be tracked in 1988, according to Sports Radar. He is also the first Tigers player to have at least 10 strikes in four straight home matches.

Pushal admitted to tearing up before stepping out to the haug for the ninth lap. He heard the roar from the crowd in Comerica Park.
“Small tear -wedenes out there, honestly, before the ining started,” Pushal said. “It was pretty cool. I was just thinking for myself, ’12 year-old me wouldn’t think it was an opportunity to get the fan base to support you as it does and be at that moment. ‘
“It was pretty special.”
