Seattle MarinersvsDetroit Tigers
SEA 3/DET 7
Things to say
Detroit Tigers beat the Seattle Mariners 7-3 at Comerica Park.
01
opener
Tigers took it 7-3 over Seattle at Comerica. Detroit's been a punching bag all year, but they swung the bats last night. Mariners just couldn't string anything together.
02
key player
Detroit's lineup did the damage early — once they got into the Seattle starter's stuff, it was over. Heart of the order finally showed up.
03
hot take
Mariners are supposed to be a playoff team and they're losing to a 26-38 club. That clubhouse has a problem.
04
deep cut
Seattle's manager went to the pen too early and it bit him. Once that bullpen door opens in Detroit, the crooked number shows up.
05
exit
Anyway — we'll see if Seattle can stop the bleeding in the next one before this turns into a real skid.
The recap
Tigers took care of business at Comerica, 7-3 over Seattle on a Friday night. Detroit's bats finally woke up — they've been scuffling all year at 26-38, but they got into Seattle's starter early and never looked back.
The Mariners pen couldn't stop the bleeding once the heart of the order started squaring everything up. Nice bounce-back win for a club that needed one.
