The Detroit Tigers Lose a Historic Game 5 and a Memorable Series
The Detroit Tigers' 2025 season has come to an end after a historic Game 5, one of the most iconic battles in recent postseason memory, lasting 15 innings.
Game 1 and Game 5 shared similarities, both going to extras with a final score of 3-2, making them "coin flip games" where the Mariners came out on top. Game 5 was particularly intense, with the Tigers' bullpen struggling to find arms and getting out of dangerous spots.
The Mariners finally worked deep enough into the Tigers’ bullpen and took advantage of Tommy Kahnle, ending the game on a walk-off single, concluding the longest winner-take-all game in postseason history.
The game was a back-and-forth battle, with both teams giving their all, like two heavyweights exerting their last bits of energy.
