SEATTLE - The Seattle Mariners are headed into Game 1 of the ALCS after a stunning victory in Friday night's 5-hour game against the Detroit Tigers .

Bryce Miller has been named the Game 1 starter for the Mariners ahead of their trip to Toronto to battle it out against the Blue Jays for the start of the American League Championship Series.

The announcement comes after the team exhausted seven pitchers in the marathon 15-inning Game 5 of the ALDS against the Detroit Tigers.

Miller was the only starter on the ALDS roster that didn’t throw in Game 5. The other starters were all called upon to get the Mariners through, including George Kirby (five innings), Logan Gilbert (two innings) and Luis Castillo (1 1/3 innings).
