Tyler Collins (3-for-3, two doubles, single) got on base for the fourth time in the bottom of the eighth inning, when he walked on four pitches from Tony Zych with one out.
But Collins was stranded. The next batter, Nicholas Castellanos, flew out to the warning track in left field before Victor Martinez grounded out into the shift.
After eight, the Tigers and Mariners are still tied, 1-1.

With the well-documented struggles from the Tigers bullpen, any scoreless inning is notable.
Such was the case for the Tigers in the top of the eighth with left-hander Justin Wilson's perfect frame.
