Skenes looks like Skenes so far

2 up 2 down 2 Ks...next batter sees about 8 pitches before grounding sharply up the middle into CF, 1 on 2 down

Pitch count is already 22 facing the clean up hitter, strikes him out but takes 23 pitches to do it.  

3 Ks

Bottom 1 coming up

I lived

Skenes at 92 pitches through 5, Tigers lead 4-1 still

Heading to the bottom of the 5th

O Malley up - B, B, S, B, B4 walk
Millazo on base 2 times already 
Leadoff gets on scores 68.3748% of the time or something

Dugas coming up, 1 on no outs

Dugas - B, throw over to make sure O Malley ain't stealing..., B, check swing foul, 2-1, popped to RF, 1 down

Morgan - foul, 0-1, base hit slapped to LF, 2 on for Crews with just 1 out. Please walk him...my dude needs more RBI!!

Meeting on the mound 

Crews - B (breaking ball is all he'll see I bet), B close, 2-0, popped him up, dammit, 2 down.  Guess Tanks will only get 3 RBI

Tanks - Strike swinging, another...he ain't getting cheated lol.  0-2, grounds to SS, and we're done.  Kinda feel like that may come back to bite us getting two on with 1 out with this part of the lineup and coming away empty.

To the 6th
Tigers up 4-1

Bottom 7

Cade Beloso up (we went to the same high school, FYI)

Cade - S, B, B, 2-1, S (shyte call), 2-2, stays alive 2-2, flared out to LCF, caught for 1 down

JT - S, S swinging his 9 iron, 0-2, B 1-2, HBP (bounced into him) 1 on 1 down

Jones (he's due) - B, B, S 2-1 (swung through best pitch to hit he'll see all night), B, B and 2 on 1 down again

Frey PH for Jobert 
Frey - B, B, 2-0, mound meeting, Sanford and Son theme playing, stays in. B, 3-0, B and the bases are juiced with 1 out

O'Malley (been on base all 3 ABs) - B, B, 2-0 with nowhere to put him, S, 1-2 after 7 straight balls, bunt, beautiful, RBI sac bunt! 8-1

Nippolt up with 2 down, bounces to pitcher and we're done

I think if Dugas stays in we 10 run rule em, but alas, we'll continue to burn their bullpen
