The Mariners’ offense took a little bit to get going Saturday, but once it woke up, it didn’t stop in an 8-1 victory over Detroit to push Seattle’s winning streak to four games.
Tigers starter Tyler Alexander held the Mariners hitless their first trip through the order, but after Mallex Smith finally scratched the hit column with two outs in the bottom of the third, the floodgates opened in the fourth for Seattle and never closed back up.
Seattle finished the game with 16 hits in its final 35 plate appearances. Five Mariners had multi-hit games, including Austin Nola, who racked up three RBI with a triple and a double, and Ryan Court, who went 2 for 3 with three RBI in his first career start.
