Can the Mariners Crack Skubal’s Code, or Is Defeat Inevitable?

In Games 1 and 2, both in Seattle, the teams struggled to get much offense going. Both of the games ended with a final score of 3-2, with the teams splitting games. The Tigers won the first game and the Mariners won the second. As the series shifted to Detroit, the Mariners broke out the bats in the first game, racking up eight runs. I mentioned a cool story about Cal Raleigh and a fan catching his homer – it might be the moment of the playoffs. It seemed like even Tigers fans were happy for him. The Tigers made a bit of a push in that game in the ninth inning, but it wasn’t enough. Sometimes that little spark, and knowing the team isn’t quitting is enough to spill over into the next game. Game 4 saw the Mariners jump out to an early lead. It looked like Seattle was going to move onto the next round. In the bottom of the fifth inning the Tigers were able to start rocking. They tied the game and in the sixth they opened it up. Surprisingly, their best hitter might be Javy Baez, who has been much maligned since he came to Detroit. Sometimes one guy that gets hot is all a team needs.
