Tuesday started with a rain delay in Detroit, and the clouds never lifted for Tigers fans. The Seattle Mariners struck first in a sloppy third inning for the Detroit defense and never looked back in an 8-4 Game 3 win in the ALDS.
With the victory, the Mariners take a 2-1 series lead and re-seize the home-field advantage they yielded with a Game 1 loss in Seattle. The Mariners can clinch the best-of-five series with a win in Game 4 on Wednesday in Detroit or in Game 5 on Friday at home.
Tuesday's win was a complete team effort that sucked the life out of the Detroit crowd early.

Ace start from Logan Gilbert
Starter Logan Gilbert was on cruise control on the mound in six four-hit innings. Detroit mounted just one challenge off Gilbert and needed a bad relay on a would-be double-play ball to plate its first run on a fielder's choice in the fifth inning.
Outside of that, Gilbert was dominant. He struck out seven and walked none on 85 efficient pitches through six innings. Seattle's bullpen kept the Tigers off the board from there until Caleb Ferguson yielded three runs without getting any outs in the ninth.
Even so, the late Tigers rally fizzled once closer Andres Muñoz took the mound.

Big Dumper, Mariners' bats tee off
Seattle's bats, meanwhile, put pressure on Detroit throughout the night. They chased starter Jack Flaherty after 3 1/3 innings and ended the fourth with a 4-0 lead. Victor Robles got the party started in the third with a leadoff double and came around to score on a J.P. Crawford single and error by Detroit.
That sparked a two-run third before Eugenio Suárez launched a towering solo shot in the fourth to extend the lead to 3-0. In the ninth, Cal Raleigh capped the offensive onslaught with his first home run of the postseason.

In between, J.P. Crawford added a solo shot as the Mariners tallied three home runs and eight hits on the night.
A drenched Detroit home crowd never had a chance to celebrate in the Tigers' first home game of the postseason. They'll hope for a better show on Wednesday in Game 4 (3:08 p.m. ET, FS1).
