00:00 And a couple of great pitching performances and pitching matchups on the bump in Detroit.
00:05 First in game number one, it was the hometown guy, Tarek Scouble, absolutely shoving against the Buccos.
00:12 The Tigers win game number one, 8-0. Scouble getting the better of the Pirates rookie, Jared Jones, who did struggle yesterday.
00:19 Seven innings of shutout work for Scouble, only three hits allowed, eight strikeouts.
00:24 He is now 7-1 this year with a 2-0-1 ERA, but it was also Skeen's day later in the afternoon in the second leg of the doubleheader.
00:33 And Paul Skeen's the other rook for the Buccos. Fantastic. Six innings of work, two earned, three hits, nine strikeouts,
00:41 going well over his strikeout prop of 7-1/2 in the overhead plus money as Pittsburgh takes the second of the doubleheader 10-2 the final.
00:50 Yeah, aces, they absolutely love when you back them up at the plate. Case in point, Tarek Scouble, 7-1, 2.01 ERA.
00:57 Now, you know, he feels about getting eight runs of support. It's like, yeah, I don't even need more than one or two at this point,
01:02 as they easily blanked Pittsburgh 8-0 in game number one and also got both of these games correct,
01:08 because I felt Scouble was the right playing game number one. And then the ace returns to the mound here,
01:12 the young ace, I should say, for the Pittsburgh Pirates in game number two. They easily win.
01:15 Why? Because their ace was backed with 10 runs of support in that game in an easy 10-2 victory.
01:21 So if you're looking from a doubleheader perspective, usually you get a split.
01:25 This one was pretty easy. Ace in game one, ace in game two, rolled them both.
01:29 You came away with easy run line victories there, Ben.
