Two division leaders in the American League face off on Tuesday night, as Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers host the Houston Astros and All-Star Hunter Brown.

Hunter Brown pitched into the seventh inning and the Josh Hader-less bullpen held it down to make it three straight series wins for the Astros.

Brown's four-seam fastball has the second-highest mark in baseball. It is, by most public metrics, one of the best pitches in the game.

To put Brown's recent stretch into perspective, the current AL Cy Young frontrunner, Tarik Skubal, has posted a 3.56 ERA over the same stretch, while the consensus second-place runner at the moment, Garrett Crochet, has an ERA sitting at 3.91.
