MLB
The Tigers claimed game one of their American League Divisional playoff series against the Mariners with a tense 3-2, 11-inning victory Saturday night. Kerry Carpenter homered. Zach McKinstry’s broken-bat single in the top of the 11th drove home Spencer Torkelson with the winning run. Starter Troy Melson allowed a run over four innings, and seven Detroit relievers combined to hold Seattle to just four hits over the duration.
That series continues tonight in Seattle. Tarik Skubal will start against Luis Castillo. Because of NFL football on 99.3 The Lift, coverage will begin at 7:40 on KBear 102.3.
Cole Keith returned to the Tigers’ line-up yesterday, after missing two weeks with strained rib cage muscle.
The Blue Jays wiped out the Yankees 10-1 in their ALDS opener yesterday. That set continues in Toronto today.
The Brewers pounded the Cubs 9-3 in their National League Divisional Series opener Saturday. Chicago starter Matthew Boyd, starting on short rest, didn’t make it through the first inning, as Milwaukee batters pounded him for six runs. Freddy Peralta pitched into the sixth, gave up two runs, and struck out 9. Jackson Chourio had three hits and drove in three runs – all in the first two innings. He left the game after his final hit with tightness in a hamstring, and his status for today’s game is uncertain.
That set continues in Milwaukee tonight. Neither team has announced a starter.
The Dodgers stunned the Phillies 5-3 in the other National League Divisional game Saturday evening. That series continues in Phialdelphia today.
