With the Astros looking to stave off the Seattle Mariners and the Tigers looking to further increase their seeding in the AL, it's a big series for both organizations. Skubal is on the mound in game two, and so is the Astros ace, Hunter Brown.

In his first season with the Red Sox, Crochet has the most wins and strikeouts in the AL, and is 2.43 ERA is just behind Skubal's at 2.42.

The last time Hunter Brown pitched here, he was on the verge of losing his job. Now the Detroit native is an ace with Skubal-like numbers.

Brown is prepping for his latest Detroit homecoming. Friends and family will fill the stands. And something about this one feels different.

Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal offered perspective on his argument with home plate umpire Tom Hanaman in the first inning of his last start.

Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal has put himself in a position this year to accomplish an incredibly rare feat.

It's strong praise from Skubal, as he says Brown's stuff is the ideal repertoire for a starting pitcher. But that wasn't all Skubal had to say about Brown, as he also wished that Brown could be a Tiger rather than facing him as an Astro.

They are two of the best starting pitchers in baseball. Two All Stars. Two Cy Young candidates sharing the mound.

Familiar voice Jason Benetti, the Tigers' full-time play-by-play announcer filling in on football for the day, called in a favor to get Hinch in for a quick call about the manager's thoughts on the team rocking Honolulu blue.
