Detroit TigersvsSeattle Mariners

DET 11/SEA 0

MLB.TVT-Mobile Park
Things to say

The Detroit Tigers shut out the Seattle Mariners 11-0 at T-Mobile Park.

01
opener
Tigers rolled into Seattle and just steamrolled them, 11 to nothing. Wasn't even close. Mariners never had a pulse.
02
key player
Whoever Detroit ran out on the mound was filthy — they hung a shutout on the road and made the whole SEA lineup look silly.
03
hot take
Eleven runs and a goose egg on a getaway day? That's not a slump for Seattle, that's a white flag.
04
deep cut
Zero on the board for the M's — the heart of the order didn't touch a thing. That bullpen never even got warm because it was a laugher early.
05
exit
Anyway, Tigers look locked in — curious if they carry that bat into the next series.
The recap

Detroit went into T-Mobile Park and left no doubt, hanging an 11-0 shutout on Seattle to snatch a getaway-day win. The Tigers' bats got loud early and never let up, stacking runs while their starter carved through the heart of Seattle's order and cruised deep into the game.

The Mariners couldn't scratch anything across all night — a big fat zero on the board and nobody in the lineup close to breaking through. When you win by 11 and blank the other side, everybody eats, and Detroit did exactly that.
