Blue Jays, MLB and Seattle Mariners
Digest more
The Seattle Mariners are headed to the ALCS. They needed a marathon to get there. Game 5 of the ALDS turned into a 15-inning show of endurance, with Seattle beating the Detroit Tigers 3-2 on a bases-loaded, walk-off hit from Jorge Polanco. They will face the Toronto Blue Jays in the next round, beginning Sunday in Canada.
In 2014, Travis Ishikawa hit one of the more iconic walk-off home runs in MLB postseason history for the San Francisco Giants.
The miracle run continued Saturday with a 3-2 walk-off hit-by-pitch win over the Texas Rangers ( box score ). While the furious fight for the AL Central title is ongoing, the Guardians are playoff-bound for the seventh time in the last 10 seasons.
According to Jayson Stark of The Athletic, Kerkering's extra-inning error was the first time in MLB postseason history that a team was eliminated on a walk-off error. Bill Buckner's blunder is an infamous moment, but it didn't directly lead to the Boston Red Sox 's elimination.
One of the more memorable games in postseason history took place 50 years ago, a contest that came to its dramatic conclusion with a post-midnight swing in which the batter willed the ball fair with arms flailing.
