Jorge Polanco belted the walk-off single in the 15th inning as the Seattle Mariners beat the Detroit Tigers 3-2 in a scintillating winners-take-all showdown to advance in the Major League Baseball playoffs on Friday.

CELEBRATORY RUN: Jorge Polanco of the Mariners reacts after hitting the game-winning RBI single during the 15th inning against the Tigers.
The Mariners survived an epic performance from Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal then held on to reach the American League Championship Series for the first time since 2001.
They’ll take on the Toronto Blue Jays in the best-of-seven AL Championship Series starting today with a World Series berth on the line.
JP Crawford led off the bottom of the 15th inning with a single before Detroit relief pitcher Tommy Kahnle hit Randy Arozarena with a pitch.
The runners advanced on Cal Raleigh’s fly out and after Julio Rodriguez was intentionally walked, Polanco came to the plate and laced a single to right field that closed out the longest winner-take-all game in MLB playoff history and sent the crowd at Seattle's T-Mobile Park into a frenzy.
