4 Big Winners and Losers as Mariners, Polanco Walk Off Tigers

Seattle edged Detroit 3-2 in 15 innings to advance to the ALCS, riding George Kirby’s slider-dominant start and a bullpen that stymied the Tigers for most of the night. Tarik Skubal dazzled with 13 strikeouts across six innings, while Kerry Carpenter powered Detroit with a 4-for-5 night and a pivotal two-run homer. Parker Meadows’ 15th-inning error opened the door for Jorge Polanco’s walk-off RBI single after a marathon four hour, 58 minute marathon. Key fantasy takeaway: late-inning bullpen usage, clutch hitting, and momentum swings dictate playoff bets.

Dillon Dingler, Wenceel Pérez help Tigers top Guardians, reach ALDS - ESPN

ESPN

Dillon Dingler's 6th-inning homer on a 1-1 changeup gave Detroit the lead, and Wenceel Pérez drove in two as the Tigers rallied for a 6-3 win over Cleveland to advance to the AL Division Series in Seattle. Dingler’s first postseason hit and RBI sparks a confident Tigers lineup as they ride a 7th-inning explosion that sent 10 batters to the plate and produced four runs.

Detroit capitalized on a shaky Guardians bullpen, with Pérez, Spencer Torkelson, and Riley Greene driving in runs in the seventh. Kyle Finnegan earned the win, while Cleveland’s Erik Sabrowski took the loss. Jose Ramírez supplied Cleveland’s early run and stayed active, but the Guardians ran out of steam in the best-of-three.

Next up: Tigers vs. Mariners in Seattle. Cleveland had rallied to this point but couldn’t sustain the comeback, ending Detroit’s road-wild-card win streak and setting the stage for a tough but intriguing ALDS.
