00:00Hey, look at those Mariners here.

00:01Going to close out the series on their way to the AL Championship Series.

00:06Just what they do.

00:07They get a nice early lead, 3-0.

00:08They hold on with that bullpen.

00:10And, oh, man, those Detroit bats just went silent at the wrong time.

00:13But did they, Joe?

00:14Three in the bottom of the fifth, four in the bottom of the sixth,

00:16tacking on runs in the seventh and the eighth inning to win 9-3

00:20to get us to a game number five.

00:23Like the heart for the Tigers yesterday.

00:25Dead and buried, back from the dead, game number five on deck.

00:29How about that performance?

00:31Yeah, I mean, finally, right?

00:32That offense finally woke up.

00:37You're talking about the number nine hitter, Javier Baez, right?

00:40Two for four, had a home run, drove in four runs.

00:44That seventh, that seven-run stretch there between the sixth and seventh innings,

00:49that was really all she wrote for Seattle at that point there.

00:54Now the big question, of course, is can they repeat that?

00:57Because if you're going to play higher-scoring games, that doesn't favor Detroit.

01:03It certainly won't favor Detroit on the road.

01:06But they did exactly what they needed to do to stave off elimination.

01:10Unlike the Yankees, you know, Detroit bats finally said,

01:14not my house, it's not going to happen.

01:17It was good.

01:18But you also, once that game started to get away,

01:21you also kind of got the feeling that the Mariners were like,

01:23all right, well, you know, we know where game five is going to be anyway.
