MLB Playoffs: How the Dodgers stunned Phillies, advance to NLCS<\/p>\n

After an error by the Phillies pitcher in Game 4, the Dodgers move on to the NLCS.<\/p>\n

The finale of the ALDS between the Detroit Tigers<\/a> and Seattle Mariners<\/a> turned into an extra-innings marathon behind a combination of brilliant pitching and fielding and lack of clutch hitting until Jorge Polanco came through for Seattle in the 15th inning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Where does that rank on the list of longest playoff games in MLB history?<\/p>\n

By one measure, it’s the longest game of its type we’ve ever seen; when Friday night’s contest in Seattle hit the 14th inning, Fox’s broadcast said it was already the longest winner-take-all game, by innings, in postseason history.<\/p>\n

It ended up falling a little short of the overall mark, though.<\/p>\n

Here’s a list of the longest MLB playoff games<\/a>, by innings:<\/p>\n
