Seattle Mariners reach ALCS for first time in 24 years after 15-inning classic

In a 4-hour, 58-minute epic, the longest winner‑take‑all game in MLB history, Seattle edged Detroit 3–2 to reach its first ALCS in 24 years. On the 472nd pitch, Jorge Polanco, hitless all night, lined a bases‑loaded, full‑count single to right, scoring J.P. Crawford for a walk‑off. Seattle’s pitching staff starred: starters Logan Gilbert and Luis Castillo relieved, Matt Brash and Eduard Bazardo logged career‑long outings, with help from Gabe Speier, Andrés Muñoz, and five strong from George Kirby. Detroit’s Tarik Skubal fanned 13, while Leo Rivas tied it on his 28th birthday. They visit Toronto on Sunday.
