The scene shifts to Motown Tuesday for Game 3 of the American League Division series between the Seattle Mariners and the Detroit Tigers. With the series tied at one game apiece, Logan Gilbert of Seattle will take the mound opposite Detroit’s Jack Flaherty .
Each of the first two games has been decided by a single run. Detroit won the opener 3-2 but Seattle rebounded and took Game 2 by that same score. Tarik Skubal allowed a couple of runs over seven innings and struck out nine, but Seattle got to the Tigers’ bullpen for a run in the bottom of the eighth to break a 2-2 tie and even the series at a game apiece. Jorge Polanco went 3-4 and drove in a pair of runs to pace the attack for Seattle.
