While a Game 1 loss in the ALDS is far from disastrous, circumstances were lining up for the Seattle Mariners to perhaps flame out early in the postseason. After all, the Detroit Tigers, after taking Game 1, were sending the near-invincible Tarik Skubal to the mound with a chance to go up with a commanding 2-0 series lead with the series heading to Motor City. But Mariners second baseman Jorge Polanco isn't just about to let Skubal mow down his team without a fight.

Polanco, who's had his fair share of postseason at-bats in the past, turned on playoff mode on Sunday night and hit two massive home runs off of Skubal in his first two plate appearances on the night, giving the Mariners a 2-0 lead that they are yet to relinquish with the game still ongoing.
