Mariners give up late lead, lose 5-4 to Tigers

DETROIT (AP) — The Seattle Mariners had everything set up the way they wanted Monday night.

They had an eighth-inning lead with Mark Lowe on the mound and Carson Smith ready for the ninth.

For once, though, things didn't go according to plan. Lowe, who hadn't allowed a run in his last 12 outings, gave up a one-out double to Jose Iglesias, and after retiring the next hitter, saw Ian Kinsler hit a 1-2 fastball over the Detroit bullpen to give the Tigers a 5-4 victory.

"I guess I'm going to have to start a new streak," Lowe said.
