In the 2006 ALDS, the Tigers split the first two games at the Yankees, came home and won two straight to win the series 3-1. In the 2011 ALDS, the Tigers split the first two games at the Yankees, came home and won game 3 but lost game 4, then won Game 5 in New York. In the 2012 ALDS, the Tigers won the first two games at Comerica, then lost the next two games in Oakland, but won Game 5 still in Oakland. In the 2013 ALDS, the Tigers split the first two games in Oakland, then split the next two games at Comerica, then went back to Oakland and won Game 5.

Royals might be able to tie their series too, as it is 4-1 KC in the top of the 8th. I can never watch a Royals-Yankees game without thinking of this clip of peak 1970s chaos.

Bobby Scales has had a really good stretch drive and post-season.

Spanish-language call of Carpenter’s homer https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMhSQY8Ss/

Boom! Carpenter’s 3-run Blast.m4a

I think Carpenter’s home run caused my Apple Watch to be worried about me.

Clase chased.

Clase is human. He puts his pants on one leg at a time. 1st and 3rd, 2 out

Closest I can come with screenshotting. Still inconclusive, IMO.

On replays I think he caught it. Both Dan and Bobby Scales think he caught it.

I thought that bounced.

Vierling on 2nd with a double, 1 out. No time like the present.

Not too many right fielders would have cut down Malloy at 2nd

12 up, 12 down for Skubal, 7 of them on strikeouts. 51 pitches.

Regardless of how effective Skubal has been, four scoreless innings for Boyd is a big loss for the Tigers.

Can’t waste this lead off double. Up to Rogers.

Skubal strikes out the side. Perfect through 3.

Greene grounds out weakly on the first pitch to end a two on, two out Tigers’ threat.

Skubal looking good. 0-0 entering the 3rd, need a couple of runs.

Is every single Mets game wild?
