Mariners Defeat Tigers in Record-Breaking Extra-Inning Showdown to Move On to First ALCS in Over Two Decades
In a dramatic extra-inning clash, Jorge Polanco drove in the decisive score with a base hit to right field, clinching a 3-2 victory for the home team over the Detroit Tigers in Game 5 of the American League Division Series.
Key Moments in the Extended Game
Luis Castillo, making his initial bullpen outing in the major leagues, threw one and one-third innings to earn the win, propelling his team to the AL Championship Series for the first time since 2001.
Seattle will now face the Blue Jays for the pennant in a contest between 1977 expansion counterparts. The series opener is set for Sunday in the Blue Jays' home.
Final Inning Game-Winning Sequence
- JP Crawford initiated the final half of the 15th with a sharp hit to the outfield.
- Randy Arozarena was struck by a throw, putting runners on first and second.
- After a teammate flied out, a fielding mistake by the center fielder allowed Crawford to take third.
- Following an intentional walk, the batter singled on a full count to end the contest.
Scoring Highlights and Pitching Performances
A Tigers hitter accounted for all of Detroit's scoring with a home run in the sixth inning.
The Mariners evened the score at two runs apiece in the later inning on a pinch hitter's RBI single.
Each squad threatened repeatedly in overtime, with the Mariners hitting into twin killings in both the 12th and 13th.
Opening Hurlers Duel
The Tigers' ace and George Kirby delivered a low-scoring battle in the early innings.
Skubal, a pitching honor favorite, allowed a single score on two hits with no walks and 13 strikeouts over six innings. He set a postseason record with back-to-back K's.
The only run occurred in the early going, when a double, theft, and deep out brought home a run for the home side.
Kirby opened with five scoreless innings before surrendering a early hit in the sixth. After a bullpen move, the Tigers batter went deep on a fastball to hand the visitors the advantage.
The starter went over five frames and was responsible for a single score on three hits with zero free passes and several K's.
The win marks a significant achievement for the Seattle franchise, who advance to compete for a place in the World Series after a long playoff drought.
