The M's blew a great performance from Marco Gonzales and a stirring comeback from reliever Ryan Cook, falling 3-2 to the Tigers.
One team squandered an opportunity and the other seized upon one. That was the difference Thursday night at Safeco Field.
The Mariners had a great chance to extend a one-run lead in the seventh inning and failed.
The Tigers had a chance to take the lead in the eighth and capitalized.
And with that, the Mariners blew a great starting-pitching performance from Marco Gonzales and a stirring comeback from reliever Ryan Cook, falling 3-2 to the Detroit Tigers in front of 15,169.
