Mariners Hoping to Head Home With Momentum
Seattle managed to eliminate Detroit in the longest winner-take-all playoff game in major league history on Friday night to punch their ticket to the AL Championship Series.

In Game 5 against Detroit, Seattle finished with eight hits as Josh Naylor (run) led the team with three. The Mariners overcame going two of 11 with runners in scoring position, left 12 men on base, and struck out 20 times in the contest. Jorge Polanco knocked in the winning run in the bottom of the 15th inning to walk it off. George Kirby threw five innings, allowing one run on three hits with no walks and six strikeouts, but didn’t factor in the decision. Luis Castillo (1-0), the Mariners’ seventh pitcher, earned the win with 1.1 scoreless innings of relief, allowing no hits or walks while striking out one.
Luis Castillo is expected to get the call for the Mariners for his third appearance, second start, of the postseason after logging 32 regular-season starts.

Against New York in Game 4, Toronto rapped out a dozen hits as Addison Barger had three while Ernie Clement (two runs) and Nathan Lukes (two RBI) each added a pair. The Blue Jays could have done more damage had they been better than three of 17 with runners in scoring position, with nine runners left on base. Louis Varland threw 1.1 scoreless innings, allowing one hit with no walks and two strikeouts, but didn’t factor in the decision. Seranthony Dominguez (1-0) earned the win as he tossed 1.2 scoreless innings, allowing no hits with one walk and no strikeouts. Jeff Hoffman threw 1.1 innings, allowing one run on two hits with one walk and one strikeout, to earn his first save of the playoffs. Kevin Gausman was on the bump for Toronto in the series opener.
