The Seattle Mariners are set to face off against the Detroit Tigers in Game 4 of the American League Division Series (ALDS) at Comerica Park in Detroit. After their recent victory, where they triumphed over the Tigers 8-4, the Mariners now hold a 2-1 lead in this best-of-five series. The game is scheduled for Wednesday at 12:08 p.m., and the Mariners are sticking with the same lineup that brought them success in Game 3.
Leading off for the Mariners is left fielder Randy Arozarena, who had a solid performance in Game 3, going 2 for 5 with a double, a run scored, and an RBI. Following him is catcher Cal Raleigh, affectionately known as "Big Dumper," who will hit second. Raleigh excelled in the previous game, finishing 2 for 4 with a home run and three RBIs. The Mariners' batting order remains unchanged, with third baseman Eugenio Suárez, who hit a solo homer on Tuesday, batting sixth. Right fielder Victor Robles will take the eighth spot, while shortstop J.P. Crawford, who delivered a stellar performance with 2 for 2 at the plate, including a solo homer, two RBIs, and a walk, will bat ninth.
Taking the mound for the Mariners is Bryce Miller, a pitcher who was considered one of the top starters in the American League during the 2024 season. Despite facing challenges this year with a 5.68 ERA over 90 1/3 innings and two stints on the injured list due to elbow inflammation, Miller has shown promise in his past outings. Notably, he has never allowed a run against the Tigers in his two career starts at Comerica Park, holding them to just five hits and no walks over 14 innings.
On the other side, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch has opted to maintain his lineup following modifications for Game 3. Right fielder Kerry Carpenter, who has been a key player for Detroit in this series, continues to lead off. He is followed by second baseman Gleyber Torres, who went 2 for 4 in Tuesday's game and boasts a hit in every game of the series. On the mound for the Tigers is right-hander Casey Mize, a first-time All-Star in 2025. Mize had an impressive regular season, finishing with a 14-6 record and a 3.87 ERA. However, he faced challenges against the Mariners earlier this season, where he was tagged for six earned runs over three innings in a July matchup.
The Mariners have enjoyed their time at Comerica Park this season, boasting an impressive 4-0 record while outscoring the Tigers 43-18. As the Mariners prepare for Game 4, fans can tune in to Seattle Sports radio for extended pregame coverage starting at 10 a.m. on Wednesday.
