00:00And because Seattle has a home favorite yesterday against Detroit, got outdueled by Tarek Skubal

00:09on the other side, the Tigers winning 6-2 over the Mariners.

00:14Now Houston has a lead in the American League West once again, 6-2 the final, Detroit gets

00:21a victory.

00:22They've won both of the first two games in this set against the M's, who now have dropped

00:28three straight games.

00:30They had won six of their last eight prior to the series finale against Philadelphia

00:34over the weekend in these first two games against Detroit.

00:37Skubal yesterday, a strong start, seven innings of work, only two earned runs allowed.

00:42Cal Raleigh hit a two-run home run against Skubal, and then nearly hit what would have

00:47been the go-ahead two-run shot in the eighth, Parker Meadows.

00:51The center fielder for Detroit climbs the wall and robs it to keep the game in favor

00:56of the Tigers and give Detroit an ultimate victory.

00:59This is one of those crazy low numbers, 6-6 and a half on the board, and we're saying,

01:03like, you know, why don't you just go over that?

01:05But I actually thought yesterday, I was saying to myself, this should be a 3-2 game, and

01:08maybe you should take the under in that ballpark with two good pitchers on the mound.

01:11Well, it was 3-2 entering the top of the ninth inning before three runs were plated by the

01:15Detroit Tigers to get that 6-2 victory, but Skubal's on the mound.

01:19You expect victories.

01:20I don't care who's on the opposite side.

01:22Seven innings pitched, three hits, two earned runs, nine Ks.

01:24Right now, that is your Cy Young Award winner from the American League, and he provided

01:29that.

01:30Look, I don't know if the Detroit Tigers are going to make the playoffs at this point,

01:33but I'm glad they didn't trade Tarek Skubal, because this guy's going to be very good for

01:36at least the next four to five years in that Detroit uniform.

01:39But taking a look here at the Mariners, they did try the deadline.

01:43Now, granted, you aren't going to get a Shohei Ohtani to sort of, you know, rebound that

01:46offensive lineup.

01:47A Rosa Rainey came over, gave you two hits yesterday.

01:49You had Justin Turner line up, gave you another hit, but nobody else.

01:52It just seems like a dead lineup on a night-to-night basis, which provided only two runs yesterday.

01:57I understand that you do get a home run, Ralph, but it's just not good enough.

02:00The one thing we've always said about the Mariners, they just can't hit.

02:03Yesterday, five total hits, and it's true.
