00:00The game we're going to take a look at right now, the Tigers, three, the Astros, one.

00:08You want to talk about two of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball, let alone the American

00:11League.

00:12You got that on the bump yesterday.

00:13It was Tarek Skubal of the Detroit Tigers.

00:15It was Frambois Valdez of the Houston Astros.

00:18An unbelievable atmosphere, and you know who was better?

00:20It was Tarek Skubal.

00:21He's the best pitcher in Major League Baseball.

00:23An absolutely filthy, dominant, left-handed pitcher, goes six innings, four earned runs,

00:29excuse me, six innings, four hits, no earned runs, and six strikeouts yesterday.

00:33An absolutely dominating performance, which this is the reason why, Dubsy, I keep saying,

00:37I didn't want to face the Tigers in a short series because I knew Tarek Skubal would be

00:42bringing the heat.

00:43Dubsy, he did that yesterday.

00:45And what more can you want from your starting pitcher there, Donnie?

00:48You highlighted some of the numbers out of the box score.

00:51Absolutely shining bright for the Tuesday afternoon.

00:54Complete control, complete command.

00:55It was a low score.

00:56The Tigers put up three there in the second and never looked back.

01:00The Astros have certainly got the class.

01:02They've got the pedigree.

01:03They've got that postseason experience, and that's the way the odds makers were trying

01:06to tell us this game would go up.

01:08But what a postseason start this was for Skubal and for the Tigers.

01:11They're going to be a very tough out moving forward.

01:14There could be a couple of interesting tactics with game two coming up this afternoon.

01:19Must win.

01:20Looks like they may be throwing the old kitchen sink, the bullpen, at Houston, but Houston

01:24aren't going to go out without a fight.

01:26But Tariq Skubal, he's been impressive all season long there, Donnie, and he continued

01:30to live up to the billion.

01:32That's why he's the Triple Crown winner and likely going to be that Cy Young Award winner

01:35as well.
