BOX SCORE

For the first time since 2012, the Detroit Tigers are headed back to the World Series. The Tigers defeated the New York Yankees 7-1 Thursday night in game 5, to win the American League Pennant 4 games to 1.

Casey Mize, and Gerrit Cole matched each other pitch for pitch through 7 innings, neither allowing a run. Cole ran into trouble in the top of the 8th, however. With one out, Javier Baez hit a routine ground ball to second. However the throw from second baseman D.J. LeMahieu sailed over the head of first basemen Anthony Rizzo, and Baez was safe at first. Juan Soto then walked, putting runners at first and second. Spencer Torkelson drove home Baez on a single to left, 1-0 Detroit. Miguel Cabrera singled, loading the bases. Austin Meadows hit a 2 run single down the first base line, scoring Soto and Torkelson, for a 3-0 Tiger lead. Jonathan Schoop singled, to re-load the bases. Jeimer Candelario followed with a double to center, scoring Cabrera, Meadows, and Schoop, putting the Tigers up 6-0. Kyle Dutcher would add a single, plating Candelario, and the Tigers led 7-0.

The Yankees would get a run in the bottom of the 8th, on a Kiner-Falefa RBi single, but that would be all they could muster. Michael Fulmer pitched a scoreless 9th to seal the win.

Casey Mize went 8 innings, allowing just 4 hits, 1 earned run, and struck out 15. Cole went 7.1 innings, allowing 1 unearned run, on 4 hits, with 5 strikeouts and 3 walks.

The Tigers now await the winner of the National League Championship Series. The Mets currently lead the series 3 games to 2. That series will continue Friday night in New York, with Chris Bassitt opposing Walker Buehler. Game 7 will be Saturday, if necessary. Jacob deGrom would face Julio Urias if that game is needed.

The World Series is slated to begin on Wednesday, October 26, in Detroit. The Tigers will have 5 days off before Game 1, allowing Manager A.J. Hinch to set up his pitching rotation however he sees fit. It is expected that either Casey Mize, or Tarik Skubal will start Game 1.
