Here we are. There's already one playoff game behind us, the first Wild Card duel between the Detroit Tigers and the Cleveland Guardians.
And the game got off to a flying start for the Tigers, as after Kerry Carpenter reached second on a Johnathan Rodriguez error, teammate Spencer Torkelson crossed home plate in the very first inning.
However, the Guardians tied the game in the third inning with no outs against Tarik Skubal.
Detroit came back in the seventh inning with a squeeze play that scored Riley Greene. Gavin Williams was then done for for six full innings.
For his part, Skubal left the game after seven and two-thirds innings of work, allowing just one run on three hits and striking out 14 batters on three hits. He was simply smoking.
Historic outing from a historic player.

Will Vest then closed the door for an inning and a third and saved the Tigers' first win in this best-of-three series. The Guardians had a runner on third with none out in the bottom of the ninth inning.
The next game between the two teams will take place tomorrow (Wednesday), same time (1:08 p.m. Quebec time), same position. Tanner Bibee will take to the mound to try to avoid his team's elimination. His opponent will be Casey Mize.
