Dillon Dingler hit a tiebreaking homer in the sixth inning, Wenceel Pérez drove in a pair of runs in a four-run seventh and the Tigers defeated the Guardians, 6-3, on Oct. 2 in the deciding Game 3 of their AL Wild Card Series. It is the second straight season the Tigers have won a Wild Card Series on the road. Detroit heads to Seattle for the first two games of a best-of-five Division Series, with Game 1 on Oct. 4. The AL West champion Mariners, the second seed, took four of the six regular-season meetings with the Tigers, who earned the third AL wild card. The single was the 40th hit of Ramírez’s postseason career, making him the fifth player in franchise history to reach that mark.
