"Jorge Polanco grounded a single into right field with one out and the bases loaded in the 15th inning, giving the Seattle Mariners a 3-2 victory against the visiting Detroit Tigers on Friday in the decisive Game 5 of the American League Division Series. Luis Castillo (1-0), making the first relief appearance of his major league career, pitched one and one-third innings for the victory, which put the Mariners in the AL Championship Series for the first time since 2001."
"JP Crawford led off the bottom of the 15th with a line-drive single to right off Tommy Kahnle (0-1). Randy Arozarena was hit by a pitch before Cal Raleigh flied out, with Crawford taking third on a throwing error by center fielder Parker Meadows. After an intentional walk to Julio Rodriguez, Polanco singled on a 3-2 pitch to win it."
"Skubal, the favorite to win a second consecutive Cy Young Award, allowed one run on two hits and no walks over six innings with 13 strikeouts. He set an major league postseason record with seven consecutive strikeouts, fanning Victor Robles to end the second inning and striking out the side in both the third and fourth. The only run Skubal allowed came in the second."
