DETROIT -- Remember the old narrative about Felix Hernandez never getting any run support? Maybe it's time to put that storyline to rest as the Mariners jumped on the Tigers for a 9-5 victory to split Saturday's doubleheader and add another win to the King's column.
Hernandez allowed five runs in five innings, but walked away with the win to improve to 5-3 with a 5.66 ERA on the season. The Mariners have scored 29 runs in Hernandez's five victories, and he leads the team in wins despite his career-high ERA.
Robinson Cano hit a three-run homer and Ryon Healy added a two-run shot as Seattle improved to 22-16 by winning the nightcap after a 4-3 loss in Saturday's first game.
