Mariners Triumph Over Tigers 8-4 in Thrilling October 7 2025 Game Recap

Seattle Mariners Poised for AL Championship Return with Victory Over Detroit Tigers

Mariners Take Commanding Series Lead

The Seattle Mariners are on the verge of securing a spot in the American League Championship Series (ALCS) for the first time since 2001. A series of powerful plays, including a two-run homer by Cal Raleigh and solo shots from Eugenio Suarez and J.P. Crawford, propelled Seattle to an 8-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night in the AL Division Series (ALDS), taking a 2-1 lead.

The Mariners now need just one more win to advance, with their first opportunity coming Wednesday afternoon in Game 4 at Comerica Park. Should the series extend, a decisive Game 5 awaits them in Seattle on Friday.

Detroit Tigers Brace for Do-or-Die Game

Despite Seattle’s commanding position, Detroit manager A.J. Hinch remains optimistic about his team’s resilience. After a challenging regular season, the Tigers rallied in the Wild Card series against Cleveland and captured a Game 1 victory over Seattle.

“We’ve had to play more back-against-the-wall-type games,” Hinch remarked, expressing confidence in his team’s readiness for the upcoming challenge.

Seattle’s Strong Pitching and Offensive Prowess

Logan Gilbert delivered an exceptional performance for Seattle, allowing just one run on four hits with seven strikeouts over six innings. Mariners manager Dan Wilson praised Gilbert’s outing, noting his outstanding control and effectiveness.

Raleigh, who led Major League Baseball with 60 home runs during the regular season, further cemented Seattle’s lead with a 391-foot, two-run homer in the ninth inning.

Detroit Tigers’ Spirited but Late Comeback

The Tigers struggled offensively, managing only four hits and one run through the first eight innings. However, in the ninth, they staged a mini-rally against Seattle’s Caleb Ferguson, scoring three runs on three hits.

Despite the late surge, All-Star closer Andres Munoz quelled Detroit’s comeback quickly with a flyout and game-ending double play.

Game 4 Pitching Matchup

On Wednesday, right-handed pitcher Casey Mize will start for the Tigers, while Seattle will counter with right-hander Bryce Miller.

Game Highlights and Errors

• Seattle’s Victor Robles opened the third inning with a double, leading to two runs for the Mariners.
• Randy Arozarena’s RBI single in the third, and Suarez’s 422-foot homer in the fourth expanded Seattle’s lead.
• Detroit scored in the fifth inning due to Kerry Carpenter’s fielder’s choice.
• An error by Detroit in the eighth allowed another Seattle run.
• J.P. Crawford’s homer in the sixth reestablished Seattle’s dominance.

As the series continues, Seattle aims to maintain their momentum and secure their place in the AL Championship Series, while Detroit battles to keep their postseason hopes alive.
