The Seattle Mariners still have to lose two more games before their season is over, but it already feels like they're staring down elimination. After all, 0-1 holes feel that much deeper when the guy going against you in Game 2 is literally the best pitcher in baseball.
The final score of Game 1 of the ALDS was Detroit Tigers 3, Mariners 2 in 11 innings. The Tigers got as many runs as the Mariners on just one swing by Kerry Carpenter in the fifth inning, and the third run that came courtesy of Zach McKinstry was all they needed after that.
