DETROIT — Tarik Skubal noted last week that his favorite memory from three-plus years of playing with Miguel Cabrera was watching him homer through the snow on Opening Day in 2021. “He slides into second base because he doesn’t know it’s a homer,” Skubal recalled. “I couldn’t tell if it was a homer; I was
