The drama of this playoff epic began around 4:45 p.m. Pacific Time, under a sprinkling Seattle sky and a closed roof at T-Mobile Park. That’s when Tigers left-handed ace Tarik Skubal stepped out into the bullpen, and the taunts rained down.

Tarik Skubal struck out 13 and Kerry Carpenter hit a 2-run HR, but the Tigers lost to the Seattle Mariners, 3-2, in 15 innings.
