The Seattle Mariners lost to the Detroit Tigers 3-2 in 11 innings on Saturday in Game 1 of the American League Division Series. Julio Rodriguez hit his first career postseason home run in the fourth inning to give Seattle a 1-0 lead, but Kerry Carpenter responded with a two-run homer in the fifth inning for Detroit.
Rodriguez tied the game at 2-2 with an RBI single in the sixth inning. The Mariners managed just six hits in the contest, and Rodriguez and catcher Cal Raleigh accounted for all of them with three hits each.
Zach McKinstry drove in the winning run for the Tigers with an RBI single in the 11th inning. The Mariners could not generate offensive support beyond their two stars, and the lack of production from the rest of the lineup proved costly in the loss.
