Overview

• With Detroit beating Cleveland 4-2, Seattle locked in at least the No. 2 seed and will skip the Wild Card round.
• The Division Series begins at T-Mobile Park on Oct. 4, and the top American League seeds will be the Mariners and the AL East winner.
• Seattle remains within mathematical reach of the No. 1 seed but must finish a game ahead of both the Blue Jays and Yankees, who own the head-to-head tiebreakers.
• Emerson Hancock starts in place of Bryan Woo, who left his last outing with pectoral tightness and is reportedly unlikely to go on the injured list.
• ALDS home-game tickets sold out within minutes as Seattle’s late surge—16 wins in 17 games—carried into the season’s final days.
