The Seattle Mariners, in their second postseason since 2001, will start George Kirby against the Detroit Tigers in the AL Division Series.<\/p>\n
SEATTLE \u2014 In the postseason for the second time since 2001, the Seattle Mariners are facing off against the Detroit Tigers in the AL Division Series.<\/p>\n
On Friday, we learned George Kirby was going to be the team’s starting pitcher Saturday, with Luis Castillo taking the mound in Game 2.<\/p>\n
Kirby made a memorable start in Game 3 of the 2022 ALDS, tossing seven shutout innings against the Astros.<\/p>\n
Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh makes his second playoff appearance, this time after hitting a major league-best 60 homers. Raleigh and the Yankees’ Aaron Judge are the top candidates for AL MVP.<\/p>\n
Raleigh was among four Mariners to hit at least 26 home runs this season. Julio Rodr\u00edguez topped 30 for the second time in his career while Randy Arozarena hit 27 and Jorge Polanco had 26. (Eugenio Su\u00e1rez, who totaled 49 homers this season, hit 13 for Seattle after being traded by Arizona.)<\/p>\n
