Tigers-Mariners Game 5 joins longest MLB playoff video games checklist

The finale of the ALDS between the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners became an extra-innings marathon behind a mixture of sensible pitching and fielding and lack of clutch hitting till Jorge Polanco got here by means of for Seattle within the fifteenth inning.

Where does that rank on the checklist of longest playoff video games in MLB historical past?

By one measure, it is the longest recreation of its kind we have ever seen; when Friday evening’s contest in Seattle hit the 14th inning, Fox’s broadcast mentioned it was already the longest winner-take-all recreation, by innings, in postseason historical past.

It ended up falling a bit in need of the general mark, although.

Here’s a list of the longest MLB playoff games, by innings:
