Digest more
The furthest the Mariners have advanced in the postseason is the American League Championship Series, which they have reached three times, in 1995, 2000 and 2001. The Mariners fell to Cleveland in 1995, and then to the Yankees in both 2000 and 2001, keeping them from reaching the World Series already.
In a thriller that lasted nearly five hours, Jorge Polanco's walk-off single in the 15th put the Mariners in the ALCS with a 3-2 Game 5 win over the Tigers.
