Mike Zunino continues tear, leads Mariners past Tigers 6-2 (Jun 19, 2017)

SEATTLE (AP) Mike Zunino continued his torrid month with a pair of two-run home runs, leading the Seattle Mariners to a 6-2 win over the Detroit Tigers on Monday night.

Beginning a stretch with 16 of 19 games at home prior to the All-Star break, the Mariners used a trio of homers to hand the Tigers their third straight loss and ninth in the last 13 games.

Guillermo Heredia lined a two-run homer in the fifth inning to pull Seattle even at 2-all, and Zunino’s eighth homer since being recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on May 23 gave Seattle the lead.
