00:00It was the Detroit Tigers last night, Donnie, absolutely dealing going against the Royals

00:08at the K. It was a spicy one. It took 10 innings to find out a winner here, but the Tigers

00:13ultimately finished up on top. It was a low scorer projected there by the odds makers

00:18at seven and a half, just with a total of four runs. And it was Meadows, the miracle

00:22man on Tuesday night.

00:25How about this though? Three to one victory yesterday, which doesn't really tell the whole

00:28tale, the story, because when you're looking at the Detroit Tigers, you never really think

00:31of their bullpen as being all that dominant. Mize goes four and one third innings pitch

00:35gives up one earned run. But how about the bullpen? Miller, Brieski, Holton and Foley

00:39shutting it down all the way through into extras to limit the Kansas City Royals to

00:43one total run. But also from a Detroit Tigers perspective, they struggled in this game going

00:47up against Cole Reagan's. He went seven innings, four hits, one earned run, six strikeouts

00:52in that game through 105 pitches. Kansas City's got some pretty good young, talented pitchers,

00:56but these are the games you have to win. If you want to get back into the wildcard

00:59race, Dubsie, you got to beat the teams that are in front of you in the standings. Now,

01:02the Royals do have a game and a half lead in the wildcard race over the third place

01:06team, but the Detroit Tigers only a game and a half climbing into third place here in that

01:11final wildcard spot playing their best baseball. And as I tipped off before the, or when we

01:15were talking a little bit earlier in our number one, they got Tarek Skubal on the mound today.

01:19Another victory against the Royals really could have the Royals panicking in this spot.

01:23The Royals are one of those teams, Dubsie, I absolutely love to root for, and I can't

01:27wait. I hope they make the playoffs here because they deserved it by having a great season.

01:30But boy, oh boy, these games in these high leverage pressure situations, every game matters.

01:35A massive win for the Tigers, a tough win for the Royals, which could get worse today

01:39with Skubal on the mound.
