Friday: A Tough Start in Detroit
The series opener saw the Mariners fall 7-3. Despite a competitive start, Detroit’s Kerry Carpenter continued his strong career performance against Seattle pitching, delivering a go-ahead two-run homer in the third. While Seattle rallied for single runs in the seventh and eighth innings, the Tigers pulled away late to secure the victory.
Saturday: Miller’s Masterpiece
The Mariners bounced back in style on Saturday with a dominant 4-0 win. Bryce Miller was electric, delivering a gem by carving through the Tigers’ lineup for six innings while allowing only one hit and striking out a season-high nine batters. The offense provided plenty of support, highlighted by Dominic Canzone, who crushed the longest home run of his career—a massive 451-foot blast—to break the game open.
Sunday: A Heartbreaker in the Ninth
Sunday’s finale was a back-and-forth thriller that saw Seattle carry a three-run lead into the late innings. However, the Tigers mounted a dramatic comeback, culminating in a two-run walk-off single by rookie Kevin McGonigle against closer Andrés Muñoz. Despite the heartbreak, the series highlighted the competitive intensity between the two clubs as Seattle looks to regroup for their next stretch.
