Mariners Prevail in Epic 15-Inning Clash, Advance to ALCS

On October 11, 2025, the Seattle Mariners prevailed in a 15-inning thriller against the Detroit Tigers, securing their spot in the American League Championship Series (ALCS) for the first time in over 20 years. The game, which lasted nearly 5 hours, was the longest winner-take-all playoff game in MLB history.

The Mariners, who have never reached the World Series, overcame a dominant performance by Tigers starter Tarik Skubal, who set a postseason record with 13 strikeouts. However, the Mariners battled back, tying the game in the 7th inning on a clutch single by Rivas. The game then turned into a scoreless duel, with both teams leaving numerous runners on base.

In the 15th inning, the Mariners' J.P. Crawford led off with a single and eventually scored the winning run on a line drive by Jorge Polanco, sparking a wild celebration at T-Mobile Park. The victory marks the Mariners' fourth trip to the ALCS, with their last appearance coming in 2001.
