Mariners Surge to 2-1 Lead, One Win Away from AL Championship

UPDATE: The Seattle Mariners are now just one victory away from reaching the AL Championship Series for the first time in 24 years after a decisive 8-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on October 10, 2023. Cal Raleigh’s two-run homer highlighted an explosive offense that propelled Seattle to a 2-1 lead in the AL Division Series.

With their first opportunity to advance set for Wednesday afternoon at Comerica Park, the Mariners are on the brink of a historic achievement that fans have awaited since 2001. If necessary, a decisive Game 5 will take place on Friday back in Seattle.

“The Seattle Mariners deserve where we’re at right now,” said Eugenio Suarez, reflecting the team’s confidence as they approach this pivotal moment.

Meanwhile, Detroit manager A.J. Hinch remains optimistic despite the loss. After a season marked by turmoil, including a significant collapse, the Tigers eliminated Cleveland in the AL Wild Card series and won Game 1 against Seattle. Hinch emphasized,

“We’ve had to play more and more back-against-the-wall-type games. I know our guys are going to be ready.”

Mariners’ pitcher Logan Gilbert delivered a standout performance, allowing only one run on four hits while striking out seven over six innings. Mariners manager Dan Wilson praised Gilbert’s outing, stating,

“Can’t say enough about what Logan did. Just an incredible outing. He had everything going.”

Seattle’s offensive onslaught began in the third inning, where after a series of hits, they scored two runs following a fielding error by Detroit’s left fielder Riley Greene. The Mariners extended their lead with solo home runs from Suarez and J.P. Crawford, who later added an RBI sacrifice fly in the eighth inning.

The Tigers, struggling at the plate, managed only four hits through eight innings but attempted a late rally in the ninth. Despite scoring three runs, including a two-run double from Spencer Torkelson, they fell short as All-Star closer Andres Munoz entered to seal the game.

Detroit’s starter Jack Flaherty lasted only 3.1 innings, giving up four runs on four hits. The Tigers have now lost their last eight games at Comerica Park, raising concerns as they face elimination.

As both teams prepare for Game 4, all eyes will be on Wednesday when Seattle looks to clinch a spot in the AL Championship Series. The expected starters are Casey Mize for Detroit and Bryce Miller for Seattle, promising another intense matchup.

Stay tuned for updates as the Mariners aim to make history, and the Tigers fight to keep their postseason hopes alive.
