"The Mariners and the Tigers played the longest MLB playoff winner take all game in history as they went 15 innings before someone finally decided they actually wanted to win. Seattle came out on top with a 3-2 victory and their prize is getting on a plane early Saturday morning and heading three hours east to prepare for their ALCS showdown against Toronto."
"The Mariners used seven pitchers in the game, with five of the six relievers needed to get more than six outs each. Two of those "relievers" were actually part of the Mariners starting rotation - meaning they used three starting options in one game. George Kirby got the start, giving up just three hits and one earned run through five. Logan Gilbert got six outs in the 10th and 11th innings, while Luis Castillo finished the game, getting four outs in the 14th and 15th innings."
The Mariners beat the Tigers 3-2 in a 15-inning marathon, creating the longest winner-take-all game in MLB playoff history. Seattle used seven pitchers and taxed several position players, including using multiple starters in relief roles. George Kirby lasted five innings, Logan Gilbert provided six outs across the 10th and 11th, and Luis Castillo finished with four outs in the 14th and 15th. The Mariners fly three hours east to face Toronto on short rest, while the Blue Jays have been off since Wednesday, leaving Toronto fresher and the Mariners' rotation and bullpen more depleted and uncertain.
