Detroit Tigers right-hander Alex Faedo executed his pitches for nearly his entire start, but two hitters beat him in crucial situations. As a result, the Seattle Mariners scored three runs on home runs in the third and fourth innings.
The two homers, both with two strikes and two outs, spoiled an otherwise impressive outing from Faedo. The Tigers didn't help him, though, as the offense posted three hits — without a walk — in Saturday's 5-0 loss at Comerica Park.
The Tigers (17-21) have lost back-to-back games for the first time in May.
