If you just look at his seven-day stats, Tarik Skubal had a very good, but not great week last week. He pitched 14.2 innings and had a 1.84 ERA and 0.55 WHIP.
Skubal's first outing of the week on Tuesday, May 20, was inauspicious in terms of winning the MLBoyfriend title. He pitched 5.2 innings giving up 5 hits, 1 walk and 3 earned runs for a 0.55 WHIP and 4.76 ERA.
Then, in his second start of the week on Sunday, May 25, Skubal threw a Maddux--meaning he pitched 9 full innings and shut out the other team in few than 100 pitches.
In the first complete game of his career, Skubal gave up only 2 hits and 0 walks (0.22 WHIP) while striking out 13 batters. Of course, his ERA for a shut-out was 0.00 and he definitely earned a win. To guild the lily, Skubal's final pitch was a 102.6 mph strike--which is insane (and possibly record-breaking) for so many reasons.

Congratulations, Tarik Skubal! You are my MLBoyfriend of the week.
