The Seattle Mariners are geared up for Game 4 of the American League Division Series, facing the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park in Detroit. Following a decisive 8-4 victory in Game 3, the Mariners hold a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series.
Mariners Lineup for Game 4
The Mariners will field the same lineup as in Game 3. Left fielder Randy Arozarena will lead off. In Game 3, he recorded two hits, including a double, along with a run scored and an RBI. Catcher Cal Raleigh, affectionately known as “Big Dumper,” will bat second after going 2 for 4 with a home run and three RBIs in the previous game.
Key hitters in the back half of the order also return, including:
- Eugenio Suárez (third baseman) – sixth in the batting order, hit a solo homer in Game 3.
- Victor Robles (right fielder) – eighth spot, had a double and scored the first run in Game 3.
- J.P. Crawford (shortstop) – ninth, went 2 for 2 with a solo home run, two RBIs, and a walk in Game 3.
Miller Takes the Mound
Starting pitcher Bryce Miller will take the hill for Seattle. Despite a challenging season with a 5.68 ERA over 90 1/3 innings, he had previously dominated in two career starts at Comerica Park. The Tigers have yet to score against him in those outings, with Miller giving up only five hits and no walks over 14 innings.
Tigers’ Game 4 Strategy
The Detroit Tigers, under manager A.J. Hinch, will maintain their lineup after modifications for Game 3. Right fielder Kerry Carpenter, who has been a standout in the series, remains in the leadoff position. He is followed by second baseman Gleyber Torres, who has hit successfully in every game this postseason.
Mize on the Mound for Detroit
Right-hander Casey Mize, a first-time All-Star in 2025, will pitch for the Tigers. He finished the regular season with a 14-6 record and a 3.87 ERA. Mize had a strong start against Seattle earlier in the season, allowing no runs over 5 2/3 innings. However, he struggled in their next meeting, surrendering six earned runs over three innings.

The Mariners have shown strong performance at Comerica Park, winning all four games there this season and outscoring the Tigers 43-18 across those matchups. Coverage for Game 4 begins at 10 a.m. with the Mariners Radio Network, while the TV broadcast will air on FS1.
