Mariners Make Historic ALCS Return in Epic 15-Inning Battle
Originally Published 3 months ago — by New York Post
Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch chose to pull ace pitcher Tarik Skubal after six dominant innings in Game 5 of the ALDS, a decision he justified as based on Skubal's physical and emotional state, despite his exceptional performance. The Mariners won in 15 innings, ending the Tigers' season, with Skubal's early exit raising questions about whether he could have pitched longer given his historic strikeout performance.
