Live Updates: Detroit Tigers-Seattle Mariners ALDS Game 3

Logan Gilbert takes the mound for the Seattle Mariners in Game 3 of the American League Division Series against right-handed pitcher Jack Flaherty for the Tigers at Comerica Park in Detroit.

Follow along for live updates: Mariners WIN 8-4 in Game 3.

9th inning: Randy Arozarena leads off the ninth with a double off Tigers reliever Brenan Hanifee before Cal Raleigh launched a two-run home run to left field for an 8-1 Mariners lead. Julio Rodríguez and Jorge Polanco flew out to center field and Josh Naylor popped out to third base to send it to Detroit for the final time. Mariners lead 8-1.

The extra runs gives Seattle the chance to save the back of their bullpen. Caleb Ferguson enters to throw the ninth for the Mariners. A lead-off single from pinch-hitter Jake Rogers and a walk to pinch-hitter Jahmai Jones forced Andrés Muñoz to stir in Seattle's bullpen. Spencer Torkelson drove a double into the right field corner that scored both runs to trim the lead to 8-3 with no outs. Pinch-hitter Andy Ibáñez followed with an RBI single to score Torkelson and cut the lead to 8-4.

Dan Wilson has to go get Muñoz after all to try and close out a game that shouldn't be in doubt.

Muñoz gets Dillon Dingler to fly out to left field, and a liner from Parker Meadows is snared by Josh Naylor as Ibáñez is doubled off at first base to finally close out the 8-4 win. 

8th inning: After an Eugenio Suárez strikeout, Keider Montero hit Luke Raley with a pitch to put a runner on for Seattle. A fly ball to right from Victor Robles was dropped by Kerry Carpenter as Raley hustled to third base and Robles raced into second on the error. A sacrifice fly from J.P. Crawford drove in Raley to extend the lead. Robles then got thrown out stealing third base to end the inning. Mariners lead 6-1.

Eduard Bazardo replaces Matt Brash to pitch the eighth inning for Seattle. Bazardo strikes out Javier Báez looking and Kerry Carpenter swinging before getting Gleyber Torres to fly out to right to end the inning. Seattle is three outs away from taking a 2-1 lead in the series.

7th inning: Cal Raleigh struck out against Keider Montero, and Julio Rodríguez grounded out to third base for two quick outs for Seattle. After a walk from Jorge Polanco, Josh Naylor lined out sharply to right field to end the inning.

Matt Brash takes over for Logan Gilbert to begin the seventh inning for Seattle. Brash gets Zach McKinstry and Dillon Dingler both to ground out to shortstop, and a groundout to first from Parker Meadows sent the game to the final two innings with Seattle holding a four-run lead.

6th inning: Brant Hurter remains in the game for Detroit and quickly retires pinch-hitter Mitch Garver and Victor Robles on a fly out to right, and liner to shortstop, respectively. But J.P. Crawford launched an 0-1 sweeper from Hurter deep to right field for a solo home run to restore Seattle's four-run cushion. It's the first home run by a left-handed hitter against Hurter this year and just the second of his career (Zach DeLoach – Chicago White Sox, 9/24/2024). Mariners lead 5-1.

Right-hander Keider Montreo takes over for Hurter for the Tigers and strikes out Randy Arozarena to end the inning.

Colt Keith and Spencer Torkelson strike out and Riley Greene pops out to third base in a bounceback sixth inning for Logan Gilbert. Gilbert has allowed just one run on four hits with seven strikeouts and a hit batter for Seattle.

5th inning: Left-hander Brant Hurter replaces Tommy Kahnle on the mound for Detroit. Jorge Polanco and Josh Naylor both groundout to shortstop, and Eugenio Suárez strikes out on a high fastball for Detroit's first clean inning since the first.

Logan Gilbert hit Dillon Dingler with a full count pitch that would have been a walk regardless. Eugenio Suárez makes a great defensive play to nab Parker Meadows on a bunt single attempt that goes as a sacrifice instead. Javier Báez's singles to right field to put runners on the corners as Detroit gets their best chance of the game against Gilbert.

Kerry Carpenter worked the count full before grounding sharply to second base. Josh Naylor was unable to hold onto the relay throw on the double play attempt at first as Dingler scored for Detroit's first run. But Gilbert gets a groundout to first base from Gleyber Torres to end the inning and keep Seattle's lead at three. Mariners lead 4-1.

4th inning: Eugenio Suárez blasts a fastball deep into the left field seats for a solo home run off Jack Flaherty for a 3-0 Mariners lead. Flaherty walks Dominic Canzone as the Tigers' bullpen resumes throwing with their starter struggling. Flaherty strikes out Victor Robles for the first out of the inning and his final batter of the game. A.J. Hinch gives the ball to right-hander Tommy Kahnle with one out in the fourth. 

J.P. Crawford walks against Kahnle as Seattle puts two runners on with one out in the fourth. After a strikeout by Randy Arozarena, Cal Raleigh slaps a single back through the infield that drives home Canzone. Julio Rodríguez flies out to deep left field to end the inning. Mariners lead 4-0.

Flaherty final line: 3 ⅓ innings pitched, four runs, three earned on four hits with three walks and six strikeouts on 76 pitches with 48 strikes.

Logan Gilbert makes quick work of the Tigers in the bottom half of the inning, getting two ugly swings for strikeouts from Riley Green and Zach McKinstry, and a fly out to center field from Spencer Torkelson. Gilbert has allowed just three hits with no walks and five strikeouts for Seattle. 

3rd inning: Victor Robles pounces on an inside breaking ball that hangs in the strike zone and drives into the left field corner for a lead-off double against Jack Flaherty. J.P. Crawford flares a single into shallow center field with Robles being held at third base by base coach Kristopher Negrón. However, a throw home from Riley Greene gets away from catcher Dillon Dingler, and Robles races home for a 1-0 lead. Detroit challenges the call, but the run is confirmed on review.

Randy Arozarena singles through the infield to drive in Crawford, who advanced to second on the error from Greene for a 2-0 Seattle lead. Cal Raleigh draws a walk as the Mariners put two on with no outs and two runs already across.

Flaherty bounces back with strikeouts of Julio Rodríguez and Jorge Polanco, and Josh Naylor drives a ball deep to right-center field, but Parker Meadows runs it down to end the frame. It's another heavy-pitch inning for Flaherty with 26 pitches in the inning. He's up to 63 pitches through three. Mariners lead 2-0.

Javier Báez popped out to shortstop and Logan Gilbert strikes out Kerry Carpenter, but Gleyber Torres rips a two-out double into the left-center field gap that Arozarena isn't able to cut off as it goes to the wall. Gilbert gets out of the inning with a fly out to center field from Colt Keith as Seattle holds its two-run lead.

2nd inning: Jorge Polanco strikes out to open the inning against Jack Flaherty. Josh Naylor works an 11-pitch at-bat against Flaherty before finally grounding out to second base. Eugenio Suárez battles for a two-out walk to serve as Seattle's face baserunner of the night, but Dominic Canzone strikes out on a knuckle-curve ball from Flaherty to end the inning. However, the Mariners made Flaherty throw 30 pitches to get through the frame, with Naylor's 11-pitch at-bat running up the pitch count.

Spencer Torkelson grounds out to third base and Zach McKinstry grounds out to first base for two quick outs. Dillon Dingler delivers a two-out single to left-center field, but Logan Gilbert blows a high fastball by Parker Meadows in a full count to keep it scoreless through two. 

1st inning: Randy Arozarena is called safe on an infield flare off the glove of Detroit pitcher Jack Flaherty, but a challenge by Tigers manager A.J. Hinch ruled Arozarena was just out at first base. Cal Raleigh flies out to right field, and Julio Rodríguez strikes out trying to check his swing for a 1-2-3 first inning for Flaherty.

Kerry Carpenter grounds out to second base to lead off against Logan Gilbert. Gleyber Torres follows with a single to center field for the first baserunner of the game. But Gilbert bounces back by getting Colt Keith to ground into a fielder's choice, and Riley Greene to strikeout on a splitter in the dirt for a quick first inning effort as well.
