One team’s season will end and another will punch its ticket to the ALCS when the Detroit Tigers and the Seattle Mariners clash in a winner-takes-all Game 5 tonight.
The Mariners took a two-game lead following Game 3 of the series earlier this week, but Detroit made a statement and forced Game 5 with a big 9-3 win in Wednesday’s Game 4.
The Tigers will turn to their ace, Tarik Skubal, for the second Game 5 in two years; last year, the Tigers’ season ended in that game. Skubal is also 0-2 against the Mariners this year.
