The last time Hunter Brown pitched here, he was on the verge of losing his job. Now the Detroit native is an ace with Skubal-like numbers.

Brown is prepping for his latest Detroit homecoming. Friends and family will fill the stands. And something about this one feels different.

It's strong praise from Skubal, as he says Brown's stuff is the ideal repertoire for a starting pitcher. But that wasn't all Skubal had to say about Brown, as he also wished that Brown could be a Tiger rather than facing him as an Astro.
