The Mariners are going to get Skubal in game 2 and 5. Game 1 is never must win but if they lose tonight you need to beat Skubal to move on.

Here we go to the eleventh inning!

A wild pitch and the Tigers get in scoring position. McKinstry with the single to score Torkelson and it is 3-2 Tigers heading into the bottom of the eleventh.

M's in trouble with Skubal on the bump tomorrow?

M's like winning in the playoffs as much as the Flames.

Painful loss. Not sure what more Julio and Cal need to do.

In this game specifically if he keeps that ball in front of him in the 11th they get to play the 12th.

Wild pitch.

Hanging that on Cal is a choice.

Mariners were out managed last night. Letting Kerry Carpenter bat against Kirby for a 3rd time with a man on was really dumb. Hinch was able to test out his bullpen with the lead and grind out the eventual win.

Not hanging it on him. But the answer to "what more did he need to do to win" was keep that ball in front of him. I agree with scoring of wild pitch there, and if he had kept it in front it would have been a good block.

He's an elite player (and I'd give him MVP over Judge for sure, primarily because of the value of his defense). Saying the outcome would have been different if he had made an elite defensive play isn't hanging the loss on him.
