Detroit — Again and again, Seattle’s sluggers swung, and the power popped. The Mariners hauled out their big bats while the Tigers kept hunting for a bat, any bat, and now the battle lines are officially drawn.
The Tigers may outhustle, outmaneuver and out-scrap plenty of teams, but the Mariners can out-mash almost any team. They unloaded early and late, launching three home runs and coasting to an 8-4 victory in Game 3 of the ALDS.
