The Detroit Tigers are moving on and heading west. After a tense 6–3 win in Cleveland (thanks to Dillon Dingler’s sixth-inning homer and a four-run seventh), Detroit punched its ticket to the ALDS for the second straight season. Tarik Skubal set the tone in Game 1 of the Wild Card with 14 strikeouts, Casey Mize battled in Game 2, and the Tigers ultimately outlasted the Guardians in Game 3 to earn a date with the No. 2 seed Seattle Mariners.
Here’s everything you need to know for Game 1 of the ALDS:
Game 1 Details
- Date: Saturday, Oct. 4
- Location: T-Mobile Park, Seattle
- First pitch & TV (depends on Red Sox–Yankees result. *Yankees lead 4-0 in the 6th inning at time of publishing):
- If the Red Sox advance: 4:08 p.m. ET on FOX
- If the Yankees advance: 8:38 p.m. ET on FS1
- Radio (Detroit): WXYT-FM 97.1 The Ticket
The scheduling quirk comes down to TV windows tied to the outcome of the other AL Wild Card series (Red Sox vs. Yankees). If Boston moves on, the Tigers get the afternoon national window on FOX; if New York advances, Detroit slides to the prime-time slot on FS1.
Quick Series Snapshot
Seattle surged down the stretch at 17–8 in September, while the Tigers limped through a 7–17 final month, then found their bite again in Cleveland. The ALDS is a best-of-five, with the winner advancing to face the Blue Jays, Red Sox, or Yankees in the ALCS.
Buckle up. Whether it’s a matinee in the Northwest or a night under the lights, October baseball is back, and the Tigers are right in the thick of it.
