DETROIT — Two days after their most lopsided loss of the season, a game in which two key players were injured and placed on the disabled list, the Mariners reversed course and completed a series win over the Tigers, defeating Detroit and ace Justin Verlander on Thursday afternoon, 2-1.
Seattle has now won three of its last four games. And after giving up 19 runs in the loss on Tuesday, Mariners pitchers held the Tigers to one run in the past two games.
Facing Tigers closer Francisco Rodriguez in the ninth with the scored tied at 1-1, Kyle Seager slapped a one-out double to left-center.
