DETROIT – The Seattle Mariners are about to get a place in the American League championship series for the first time in 24 years.
Cal Raleigh managed a two-point circuit, Eugenio Suarez and JP Crawford have managed solo fire and Seattle beat the Tigers de Detroit 8-4 Tuesday evening to take a 2-1 advance in the Al Division series.
The navies have been about to win their first Alcs since 2001. Their first chance of advancing will take place on Wednesday afternoon during the fourth game in Comerica Park, and if necessary, another opportunity awaits them in Seattle on Friday for a fifth decisive match.
“The Seattle Mariners deserve where we are currently,” said Suarez.
Detroit manager AJ Hinch said that he should not be excluded his team after having been determining after a historic collapse in the regular season and having rebounded by eliminating Cleveland in an Al Wild Card Series, then won the first match against Seattle.
“We had to play more and more matches in the wall,” said Hinch. “I know our guys will be ready.”
Logan Gilbert de Seattle gave a point on four strokes while withdrawing seven and walking none in six rounds.
“I can’t say enough about what Logan did,” said Mariners manager Dan Wilson. “Just an incredible outing. He had everything you needed.”
Raleigh, which made 60 circuits, a summit in the major league, during the regular season, hit a circuit of 391 feet and two points in the left center in ninth to bring the scoring to 8-1.
The Tigers, offensively challenged, were limited to four strokes and one point in eight rounds before suddenly generating a ninth attack against Caleb Ferguson, who granted three points on three strokes and a goal on balls without obtaining withdrawal.
Spencer Torkelson achieved a double of two points and Andy Ibanez followed with a simple RBI.
The closest All-Star Andres Munoz entered with only one and no withdrawal and ended the hopes back from Detroit with a flyout and a double game of the match.
Jack Flaherty of Detroit lasted only 3⅓ in the round, granting four points (three deserved) on four strokes and three goals on balls.
Seattle scored two points in third after starting the round with three strokes and a ball goal.
Victor Robles began with a double and marked on an error, which was attributed to the left voltiter Riley Greene for a wandering launch which could have been made on a rebound by the recipient Dillon Dingler.
“A little breakdown all around,” said Hinch.
The simple RBI of Randy Arozarena gave the advantage to the 2-0 Mariners in third.
Suarez sent a 422-foot shot to the left in fourth to bring the scoring to 3-0. The simple RBI with two Raleigh withdrawals in the Channel gave Seattle a four -point cushion.
The Tigers hoped that their first home game in more than two weeks could make them more comfortable in marble, but that did not help and they lost one eighth in a row to Comica Park.
Detroit finally scored in fifth on the choice of Kerry Carpenter’s defender on what was potentially a double end of the round. The crawford throw since the second goal withdrew the first goal player Josh Naylor from the bag and he did not secure the ball in his glove, allowing Dingle to score.
The Crawford circuit in sixth grades has given up four points to Seattle.
The tigers allowed the navies to mark a second point not deserved in the eighth round after Carpenter dropped Victor Roble’s fly in the right field, allowing Luke Raley to move on to the third and to score on the sacrificial fly of Crawford.
The RHP of Detroit Casey Mize and the RHP of Seattle Bryce Miller should start the fourth game on Wednesday.
