I need the Mariners to win on Friday, not only for my own obvious, personal reasons, but also because M’s/Blue Jays is the ALCS everyone deserves.

Mariners fall, 9-3. Game 5 on Friday at T-Mobile Park.

Maybe so, but having one competent lefty is way too easy to manage against. Also doesn’t help matters that the Tigers are seeing the same two relievers over and over again. They have nowhere else to turn at all if either of those two don’t have it.

They needed to add to this bullpen and they really didn’t. Caleb Ferguson was never enough. I will go to my grave believing that.

Dillon Dingler doubles to left-center and drives in the Tigers’ first run of the afternoon. It’s 3-1 Mariners.

Bryce Miller’s day is done after 4.1 innings. Gabe Speier coming out of the ‘pen with one out in the fifth.

Randy Arozarena singled to lead off the fifth, and he moved into scoring position on a wild pitch.

Cal Raleigh promptly strokes an RBI single into right-center to add to the Mariners lead! 3-0 M’s!

J.P. Crawford pops out to end the inning. Mariners avoid the NOBLETIGER and tack on a run, but probably hoped to add more. 2-0, midway thru four.

Robles grounds into a double play. A run scores. 2-0 M’s.

Garver works a walk after going down 0-2. The bases are loaded with nobody out for Víctor Robles.

A.J. Hinch going to his bullpen once again, righty Kyle Finnegan coming in.

Josh Naylor lines a double down the right field line and Dominic Canzone punches a base hit into right field to give the Mariners a 1-0 lead with two outs in the second!

I was just saying a minute ago that it’s as if they don’t even know he has a bone spur in his throwing elbow

Thirteen-pitch, 1-2-3 inning for Bryce Miller in the first.
