The Mariners and Tigers used a total of four pitchers who had started the previous series in relief in the 15-inning battle for the fourth time in franchise history, with the previous three coming in the World Series. Logan Gilbert, the Mariners' Game 3 starter, made his first career relief appearance on three days' rest, pitching two innings in the 10th inning and allowing no runs on three hits and a walk. Luis Castillo, the second starter of the game, also made his first career appearance at the plate, coming in with a runner on second in the 14th inning and successfully resolving the crisis, and in the 15th inning, after completing a three-up, three-down game, he was able to get the winning pitch on another teammate's hit. Therefore, the Mariners' pitching staff is very depleted in this game, and who will start against the Blue Jays in the league championship game the day after tomorrow has aroused the discussion of the fans.
