DETROIT (AP) --- Gleyber Torres had three hits and Detroit beat Seattle 7-3 on
Friday night in their first meeting since the Mariners eliminated the Tigers in
the AL Division Series.
Kerry Carpenter and Spencer Torkelson homered for Detroit, which is 4-0 in June
after going 9-22 in May. The Tigers are averaging eight runs during the winning
streak.
The Mariners have lost two in a row after an eight-game winning streak.
Framber Valdez (3-4) got the win, allowing one run on five hits and two walks
in five innings. Bryan Woo (5-4) took the loss, giving up five runs in 6 1/3
innings.
Seattle took a 1-0 in the first on three singles, but Detroit came back with
three runs in the third.
With one out, Torres singled and took third on Kevin McGonigle's base hit.
Dillon Dingler lifted a ball to shallow center, forcing Julio Rodriguez to play
it on a hop. Torres scored, but Rodriguez threw to J.P. Crawford in time to
force McGonigle at second.
That cost the Tigers a run, as Kerry Carpenter followed with a two-run homer to
right.
Colt Emerson made it 3-2 with a seventh-inning homer off Drew Anderson, but a
two-run double by Torres in the bottom of the inning expanded the margin to
three runs.
Mitch Garver's bloop single pulled Seattle to 5-3 in the eighth, but Torkelson
hit a two-run homer in the bottom half.
Crawford left the game after being hit in the hand by a third-inning pitch by
Valdez.
Up next
The teams continue their three-game series Saturday. Detroit RHP Keider Montero
(2-3, 3.69 ERA) was set to face RHP Bryce Miller (1-0, 1.71).
