Seattle Mariners starting pitchers vs Detroit Tigers without Bryan Woo
On “Days of Roar,” Ryan Divish — the Mariners beat writer for The Seattle Times — breaks down the starting rotation vs the Detroit Tigers in the ALDS.
The Detroit Tigers are in a rain delay.
The Tigers and Seattle Mariners entered a rain delay Tuesday, Oct. 7, before Game 3 of the ALDS at Comerica Park — the Tigers’ first home game of the 2025 MLB playoffs.
First pitch was initially scheduled for 4:08 p.m.
“We’re going to play,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said, approximately two hours before Tuesday’s game entered a rain delay. “We don’t know exactly when we’re going to start.”
The Tigers and Mariners are tied, 1-1, in the best-of-five ALDS, with the winner advancing to the ALCS against the Toronto Blue Jays or New York Yankees.
Before Tuesday’s game, the Tigers played three games at Progressive Field in Cleveland and two games at T-Mobile Park in Seattle during their postseason journey.
The Tigers and Mariners are slated to play Game 4 of the ALDS at Comerica Park at 3:08 p.m. Wednesday, but first pitch will shift to 7:08 p.m. if the Yankees are eliminated by the Blue Jays in Tuesday’s other ALDS game.
The Tigers haven’t played a home game since Sept. 21 in the regular season.
They also haven’t won a home game since Sept. 6.

For the Tigers, right-hander Jack Flaherty is scheduled to start Tuesday’s game. He posted a 4.64 ERA with 59 walks and 188 strikeouts across 161 innings in 31 starts.
Flaherty — who won the 2024 World Series with the Los Angeles Dodgers — pitched in Game 3 of the AL wild-card series against the Cleveland Guardians, allowing one run on three hits and two walks with four strikeouts across 4⅔ innings.
He has started 10 of 11 games throughout his postseason career, registering a 5.05 ERA in 51⅔ innings.
Right-hander Logan Gilbert is scheduled to start for the Mariners.
Gilbert has pitched in one other game in his postseason career, facing the Houston Astros in the 2022 AL wild-card series. In that start, he allowed three runs on five hits and two walks with five strikeouts over 5⅓ innings.
He has posted a sub-3.75 ERA in each of the past four seasons, including a 3.44 ERA with 31 walks and 173 strikeouts across 131 innings in 25 starts in 2025.
