Depleted Mariners have an ace up their sleeve for ALCS showdown vs. Blue Jays

It took everything the Seattle Mariners had to get through the Detroit Tigers in the American League Division Series. They had to beat Tarik Skubal not once, but twice, and they also had to endure the Barry Bonds-ization of Kerry Carpenter and a 15-inning Game 5 that teased heartbreak again and again.
