Tigers vs Mariners live updates: Detroit goes for 2-0 lead in Seattle

Following a thrilling extra-innings victory in the series opener, the Detroit Tigers  look to continue their postseason magic tonight when they face the Seattle Mariners in Game 2 of their American League Division Series.

The Tigers took the opener 3-2 in 11 innings on Saturday night on Zach McKinstry’s RBI single off reliever Carlos Vargas. They’ll have an opportunity to take command of the best-of-five series with ace left-hander Tarik Skubal (13-6, 2.21 ERA) on the mound against the Mariners’ Luis Castillo (11-8, 3.54).

Skubal, an alumnus of Seattle University, came through in the clutch in Game 1 of the wild-card series with a career-high 14 strikeouts in helping Detroit upend the Cleveland Guardians and advance to the ALDS.
