BIG INNING! Tigers strike for FOUR runs in the 6th to take commanding lead in Game 4 of the ALDS!

Tigers had tied this game with three in the fifth. They get the shutdown inning in the sixth. Looking to add on and maybe take a lead. Riley Green followed by Spencer Tolson and Zack McKinstry. It’s the middle of the Detroit order. Still Gabe Spire certainly for this left-hander. And you got the righty and then the lefty. McKinstry. The one breaking ball lifted to right. Riley Green has finally come alive. Tigers lead. [Applause] Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Music] their first lead since the 11th inning of game one. And it’s Riley Green to give it to him. 4-3 Detroit. They’ve been waiting for Riley Green to finally come through. He gets the first Tiger home run in 106 at bats. the first since Carrie Carpenters in game one. He’s seen he’s seen games fire out three times in this series, I believe. And he finally got that one slider that didn’t do a lot. And we said it in the open he had to do something. And I’m not going to lie, Wayneo, you called it. I did. Here’s Torqulson. I did say, y’all didn’t hear it on the broadcast, but between innings, I said, if this Tiger offense is going to erupt, it’s going to be off the bat of Riley Green right here. So, now it’s Bazardo out of the pen, for a strike to Torlson to even the count. Isn’t it amazing what momentum can do? Tigers score that run, the crowd give gets back into it, they tie the game. Melton gets out of that last jam and then boom. down the third baseline. A fair ball. Torlson around first. He’s gunning for two. He’s going to stop there with a double. Bizardo is hoping for a review of this play because he thought it was going to be a foul ball. Can’t review it. Can’t review that. Doesn’t matter. He can hope and wish and everything he wants, but you can’t review this one. I love you got Suarez pointing out a mark. You got Joey Cora, the third base coach, pointing out a different mark. I mean, I don’t know. You got two guys staring at it. [Music] That is so close. It’s a non-reviewable play because the ball hit shy of the third base line or third base bag, I should say, on the infield. You can review it if it’s a line drive beyond the third base bag on a line, but you can’t do it if it’s already established contact shy of the third base bag on the infield. [Applause] McKinstry takes ball one. [Applause] Oh, love this angle. Make the call. goes over the bag and according to the left field umpire Jeremy Rehack well that’s Alex Tosy the third base umpire toy right but there’s two guys within 20 ft of each other looking at the same ball Jeremy Rehack is not going to overturn his buddy Alex Tosy they’re going to be in agreement but I I mean we just saw a camera right down the line you tell me if that ball’s fair foul right side that’s through a base hit McKinstry he delivers to drive in Torlson it’s five to three Detroit. McKinstry will stay at first. And the Tigers offense has taken the momentum right back in game four. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Third RBI the postseason for McKinstry has given Detroit a two-run lead. [Music] Great job again trying to do the right thing. Runner on second. No outs. He’s trying to get him over. They thought he might bunt. Naylor was drawn in. He gets rewarded with not only a knock, but an RBI. Man, is this game flipped. I mean, the crowd, the momentum, the energy. It was dead in here. They were booing the Tigers when they’d make outs. And now all of a sudden, they love them. It’s the Tigers biggest lead of the series at two. It’s doubled. Hasn’t it doubled their entire run production for the series right there? Well, if you take away yesterday. That’s right. That’s right. The But we questioned, we talked about this after the game yesterday. Remember they scored those three late runs? Yeah. Does momentum carry over offensively. We’re like, “Ah, we don’t know. We’ll see how it goes.” Well, all of a sudden, it’s carried over. I was in the clubhouse this morning. I looked at Carrie Carpenter and I said, “Man, you don’t look nervous at all.” These guys were carrying on and laughing and playing in there and I said, “You’re not nervous at all.” He said, “Why would we be nervous? We got this.” Well, back by Dingler two and two. We We were talking to the starting I mean Casey M talked to us for a long time. Scuba, Flareity, they were talking about the hat things. They have the hat boxes and how they take up too much space and how many shoes they need to pack and Jav Bayz has to have two bags because he has so many shoes he has to take on the road. Two and two on Dingler. Check back by Bazardo at first base and they pick off McKinstry. Allan Porter immediately made the call. AJ Hinch waiting to see if he wants to challenge. Lazardo with a quick move over to first base. [Applause] [Applause] Detroit is challenging the alcohol first base. The replay review presented by Zoom. Hard to tell right there. That’s where it helps to have a left-handed first baseman where he can let that throw travel and just sweep the tag. This close. I miss the days of arguing though. He’s out from that angle. He looks out. But what what Mckistry was arguing is that Naylor, see how Naylor’s in front of the base and he has to go around him instead of being able to go straight in. There’s a rule you can’t block the base. But I don’t think that would be considered that in this case. [Applause] Alan Porter. After review, the call on the field is confirmed. The runner is out and has one challenge remaining. Huge first down for Bazardo and Seattle in this inning. He gets the pick off of McKinstry and that wipes the bases and gets the first out of the sixth. He could just barely beat him. Still out of the stretch. The two- two called strike three on a slider and Dingler goes down looking just like that. Two down. Number 46. [Music] Oh yeah. So Cal Raleigh right there I think drops his glove giving Bazarda when to throw. I think they’re waiting for either McKinstry to lean a little bit or take an extra little step, but 100% that looked like a timing play. They do that all the time, mostly at second base. But watch Cal Raleigh drop his glove. Boom. The throw’s gone. McKinstry’s out. Now it’s Wel Perez for his first at bat and it’s nothing at two. Did you see when he stood up too stands up and he says, “No, I got my hand in there.” And Alan Porter says, “I didn’t see it like that, but look, you can challenge. You know, I I miss the days of getting in the face and arguing and manager coming out. Knowing you the way we do, Weno, like the aggressiveness constantly comes out. I mean, I have to fear. Oh, yeah. You know how how angry you get. I’m saying I would be You got You’ve got guys that would do it for you. You’re so polite now this game. The one-two pitch. Perez takes a breaking ball and it’s two and two. Wild game here in game four in Detroit. Mariners scored one in the second, one in the fourth, one in the fifth. Tigers put a three spot up in the fifth. The green homer to start the bottom of the sixth. And now Perez guls one fair down the right field line. He’s looking for extra bases. He’s got a two out double. [Music] Green is homered in this inning. McKinstry has driven in Spencer Torqulson. And suddenly the Tigers offense, which was very quiet, in particular against young Bryce Miller, has come up huge in the last two innings to bring life to this crowd, to that dugout, and a little bit to their season. Bayz, who tied the game in the fifth, takes ball one. It’s amazing. Those numbers we just showed are amazing cuz the whole series the offense for the Tigers has been dead. No energy, nothing. The one homer by Car Carpenter really was the only life that they had shown. And then all of a sudden a five spot real quick and now two more. Bayz first playoff home run in eight years has put Detroit on top by four. [Applause] Heat. [Applause] Heat. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] A seven run, two inning explosion by Detroit’s offense. Carpenter takes a big cut at a fast ball. Hanging breaking ball and Java, we’ve mentioned it all series, has been under control. And that was a real homer that went into the old stadium, the old fence. But wow. Oh yeah. And that’s exactly the same location that he missed two sliders early in this earlier in this series. when the game was on the line. He did not miss it today. Jav leans back like that. You know he got it when he when he he swings and leans back again. What do they say? The flip the script has been flipped in the home runs and the base hits with guys in scoring position. All of a sudden, the Tigers can do no wrong. Carpenter out to center. Rodriguez is there to finish off a productive Detroit sixth inning. In their last two frames, seven runs, nine hits, six extra base hits, including two home runs from Riley Green and Javier Bayz. The Tigers have come to life to the seventh in a 73 game.

Home runs by Riley Greene and Javier Báez highlight a four-run 6th inning for the Tigers as they take a 7-3 lead over the Mariners in Game 4 of the ALDS.
