Seattle — It’s nights like this when you wonder if the Tigers will ever win again.
Justin Verlander was perfect. He blew through the first 16 Seattle Mariners he faced Wednesday night. He struck out 10 of those hitters in 5 1/3 innings and the Tigers were cruising, 4-0.
And then Jarrod Dyson dropped a bunt.
A perfect bunt. The perfect game and the no-hitter were gone and shortly thereafter, so was Verlander. He wouldn’t survive the inning and the Tigers wouldn’t survive the night. The Mariners scored seven uninterrupted runs, three in the sixth and four in the seventh, sending the Tigers to their season-high fifth straight loss, 7-5.
