00:01We're thrilled to have you joining us today. The Mariners secured their place in the American

00:05League Championship Series ALCS for the first time since 2001 by achieving a dramatic victory

00:11in Game 5 of the American League Division Series ALDS against the Tigers, which extended to 15

00:18innings. Jorge Polanco of Seattle clinched the win with a walk-off single, while the bases were

00:23loaded in the bottom of the 15th inning, igniting a celebration at T-Mobile Park and setting the

00:29stage for the Mariners to face the Blue Jays in the ALCS. The game was filled with remarkable

00:34performances, contributions from players on both teams, and unforgettable moments that will resonate

00:40with baseball fans for years. Here are the key statistics from the thrilling Game 5 of the ALDS

00:45between the Mariners and Tigers. ALDS Game 5 by the numbers, 298 total minutes played, 472 pitches

00:53thrown, 115 plate appearances, 15 pitchers used, 37 strikeouts, which ties for the third highest in

01:01a postseason game, and 22 runners left on base. Polanco emerged as the hero after an extraordinary

01:0715-inning contest. In a closely contested match between the Mariners and Tigers, it was Polanco

01:12who ultimately secured victory, with a crucial RBI single, while the bases were loaded in the 15th

01:18inning. This moment was significant, as it represented only the 15th walk-off hit in the

01:23history of winner-take-all games in Major League Baseball, postseason play, and, it was the first

01:29occurrence since Chris Taylor's walk-off home run for the Dodgers against the Cardinals, during the

01:342021 National League wildcard game. Additionally, this event marked only the second walk-off hit in a

01:42winner-take-all American League Division Series, ALDS game. The first was Edgar Martinez's memorable

01:48walk-off RBI double against the Yankees in the 1995 ALDS, a pivotal moment in Seattle's sports history,

01:56known simply, as the double. That particular game also extended into extra innings, concluding after

02:0211 innings. With this latest victory, the Mariners have joined an exclusive group of two franchises

02:07that have achieved multiple extra-inning walk-off wins in winner-take-all postseason games, alongside

02:14the twin Senators. Furthermore, Friday's 15-inning triumph over the Tigers stands as the longest

02:19winner-take-all game, and is tied for the fourth-longest series-clinching victory in postseason

02:24history. In a game that extended to 15 innings, it may have been easy to overlook the fact that Tarek

02:30Skubal had an outstanding performance earlier on. The ace of the Tigers delivered an exceptional display,

02:37recording 13 strikeouts over six innings while allowing just one run in his second start of the

02:43series. After achieving 14 strikeouts in game one of the wildcard series against the Guardians,

02:49Skubal made history by becoming the first pitcher to have multiple games with 13 or more strikeouts

02:55in a single postseason. The only other pitchers who have accomplished two such games in their entire

03:00postseason careers are Garrett Cole and Bob Gibson. In this particular outing, Skubal not only

03:06excelled, but also set two strikeout records. He began his streak by striking out Victor Robles

03:11for the final out of the second inning and concluded it with a strikeout of Eugenio Suarez in the fourth

03:17inning, achieving seven consecutive strikeouts. This remarkable feat established a new postseason

03:22record for the most consecutive strikeouts in a single game. Additionally, Skubal recorded four

03:28strikeouts in the third inning alone. With strikeouts exceeding 100-bot menopichi,

03:32he has now accumulated a total of seven in the postseason, marking the highest number recorded

03:38by a starting pitcher during the pitch tracking era, which began in 2008. The only player to achieve

03:43more strikeouts at this speed in a postseason is Aroldis Chapman, who recorded 15 in 2016 and 11

03:50in 2017. For Mariners fans, Carpenter's performance is likely to linger in their memories for quite some

03:57time. While Skubal maintained his exceptional form, Carpenter distinguished himself with an

04:02impressive performance that included four hits, two walks, and a home run across six plate appearances.

04:10Carpenter began his game by hitting singles in his first two at-bats, and then he launched a two-run

04:15home run in the sixth inning against Mariners left-hander Gabe Spire, giving his team the lead.

04:20This home run was notable as it was only the third he hit this season against left-handed pitchers,

04:25as Carpenter has primarily faced right-handed pitchers throughout his career. Following the

04:30home run, he continued to excel by adding another single and drawing two walks. With this performance,

04:36Carpenter became the third player in playoff history to reach base six times in a single game,

04:42joining the ranks of Kenny Lofton, who accomplished this feat in 1995. In a crucial moment during the game,

04:49the Mariners found themselves trailing 2-1 in the seventh inning, with two outs and two runners on base.

04:54Their season was hanging by a thread, with only seven outs remaining. In a surprising turn of

04:59events, Leo Rivas, a switch hitter, stepped up to the plate. He was pinch-hitting for Dominic

05:05Canzone, who had previously taken the place of Mitch Garver. Facing left-handed reliever Tyler

05:10Holton, Rivas delivered a pivotal game-tying single to left field, which set the stage for

05:15the Mariners to eventually secure victory eight innings later. This hit was significant as Rivas became

05:21just the seventh player in postseason history to achieve a game-tying hit as a pinch-hitter in a

05:26winner-take-all game. He was the first to accomplish this feat since Quique Hernandez did so for the

05:31Dodgers in Game 7 of the 2020 National League Championship Series. Additionally, it was a

05:37special day for Rivas, as he celebrated his 28th birthday on Friday. He joined the ranks of Francisco

05:43Cabrera of the Braves, who had a pinch hit in the 1993 NLCS Game 4, and Swede Risberg of the White Sox,

05:50who did so in the 1917 World Series Game 5, as the only players to achieve a pinch hit on their

05:57birthday. During the postseason, Rivas celebrated his birthday. Before his recent at-bat, he had

06:03accumulated only 39 hits and 17 RBIs in the major leagues, with none of those coming in October.

06:10He had spent considerable time in the minor leagues playing 776 games, all leading up to this

06:16significant moment. In a critical Game 5 that extended to 15 innings, it was not surprising

06:22that both teams had to rely heavily on their bullpens as well as their starting pitchers.

06:26The Mariners called upon both Logan Gilbert, who started Game 3, and Luis Castillo, who started Game 2,

06:32to pitch in relief. Meanwhile, the Tigers utilized Jack Flaherty, their Game 3 starter. Together,

06:39these three pitchers delivered an impressive performance, contributing 5-1-3 scoreless innings

06:45during the extra innings, with Castillo ultimately securing the win. Flaherty's appearance out of

06:49the bullpen was quite unusual. He had only made seven relief appearances in his MLB career prior to

06:55this, including one in the postseason. In contrast, the Mariners' pitchers had a different experience.

07:01Gilbert had never pitched in relief in any of his 148 major league appearances, including playoff games,

07:08and he had not done so in the minor leagues either. Gilbert has not taken on a relief role

07:13since his sophomore year at Stetson University in 2017. In contrast, Castillo has participated in all

07:21247 of his major league baseball games as a starting pitcher. His last appearance in relief occurred in

07:272016, while he was still part of the Marlins organization, specifically in high A ball. In total,

07:35the game featured five skilled starting pitchers, George Kirby, Logan Gilbert, and Luis Castillo for

07:41the Mariners, along with Tarek Skubal and Jack Flaherty for the Tigers. This group includes four

07:47all-stars and five pitchers who have received votes for the Cy Young Award, with Skubal being the 2024

07:53American League winner. Additionally, there is Troy Melton, a rookie for the Tigers who has both started

07:58and relieved this season. He began Game 1 for the Tigers and contributed a scoreless inning in relief

08:04during Game 5, making it four pitchers who had previously started a game in the series and then

08:09appeared out of the bullpen on Friday. The Elias Sports Bureau noted that this occurrence had not

08:15been seen in the postseason since Game 7 of the 1952 World Series, when the Yankees played.
