Seattle — From the bottom of the barrel to the top of the mountain in three pitches. And an inning later, right back to the bottom.
The emotional roller-coaster that is baseball doesn’t have gradual slopes.
“Things clearly are not going our way right now,” said Justin Upton after the Tigers endured a fourth straight loss. “But that’s part of it. We need to find a way to reverse it.”
After an improbable rally to tie the score in the eighth inning, the Tigers walked off losers in the bottom of the 10th.
Kyle Seager ripped a walk-off double off Justin Wilson, scoring pinch runner Tyler Smith to give the Seattle Mariners a 5-4 win.
