The Seattle Mariners are preparing to play the final game of the American League Divisional Series (ALDS) tonight at 5:08 p.m. against the Detroit Tigers.

Mariners veteran broadcaster Rick Rizzs joined “ Seattle’s Morning News ” on KIRO Newsradio ahead of the game to detail the gravity of tonight’s matchup, facing the reigning AL Cy Young winner, Tarik Skubal, for the second time this series and fourth time this season.

“The Mariners knew there was a possibility of facing Tarik Skubal twice, which they’re going to do, and they beat him in the second game of the series,” Rizzs said. “They also defeated Skubal twice earlier this season. They’ve done it three times, and the challenge now is to do it one more time. This team is ready.”
