Seattle — It’s nights like this you wonder if the Tigers will ever win another baseball game.
Justin Verlander was perfect. He blew through the first 16 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 no-hitter was gone and Verlander was steaming. He wouldn’t survive the inning and the Tigers wouldn’t survive the night. The Mariners scored seven unanswered runs, three in the sixth and four in the seventh, sending the Tigers to their season-high fifth straight loss, 7-5.
