Tarik Skubal went into Sunday's game w/ a 71.5% rate of throwing 1st-pitch strikes, 2nd-best in MLB, and given that tendency, a lot of the damage against him--6 of the 8 HR-- had come on first pitches in at-bats. He and catcher Dillon Dingler adapted vs. MIN, throwing a ton of first-pitch changeups.
