Cal Raleigh hit a two-run homer, Eugenio Suarez and J.P. Crawford had solo shots and the Seattle Mariners beat the Detroit Tigers 8-4 on Tuesday night to take a 2-1 lead in the AL Division Series. The Mariners are within a win of their first AL Championship Series since 2001.

In September, when the Yankees played the Blue Jays a month before they faced off in the ALDS, the Bombers seemingly picked up on what Max Scherzer was throwing before Ben Rice connected on a three-run homer that helped decide the game.

Jesús Montero failed to develop into the baseball star that some thought he might, despite repeatedly appearing on preseason top prospect rankings. The former New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners catcher failed to capitalize on that potential and turn it into a long career.

Logan Gilbert was making just his second career playoff start on Tuesday night for the Seattle Mariners in Detroit against the Tigers. It was a huge one, too. The ALDS was tied 1-game apiece. Gilbert brought his best stuff. The right-hander went 6.0 innings, allowing four hits and one run, while striking out seven.

Game 3 of the Mariners-Tigers ALDS is in a rain delay, which has television channels changing as Yankees-Blue Jays Game 3 approaches.
