DETROIT (AP) \u2014 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The Mariners have lost two in a row after an eight-game winning streak.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Seattle took a 1-0 in the first on three singles, but Detroit came back with three runs in the third.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
That cost the Tigers a run, as Kerry Carpenter followed with a two-run homer to right.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Mitch Garver’s bloop single pulled Seattle to 5-3 in the eighth, but Torkelson hit a two-run homer in the bottom half.<\/p>\n
Crawford left the game after being hit in the hand by a third-inning pitch by Valdez.<\/p>\n
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).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DETROIT (AP) \u2014 Gleyber Torres had three hits and Detroit beat Seattle 7-3 on Friday night in their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":718582,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2386],"tags":[5,762,1996,147,53,2583,1390,63086,79,95,1400,3992,391,4140,12344,4,9500,9501,9496,9497,9498,83366,619,314,594,89916],"class_list":["post-718581","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-detroit-tigers","tag-baseball","tag-bryan-woo","tag-bryce-miller","tag-detroit","tag-detroit-tigers","tag-detroittigers","tag-dillon-dingler","tag-drew-anderson","tag-framber-valdez","tag-gleyber-torres","tag-j-p-crawford","tag-julio-rodriguez","tag-kerry-carpenter","tag-kevin-mcgonigle","tag-mitch-garver","tag-mlb","tag-package-100024-ap-online","tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","tag-product-32562-ap-online-other-sports-news","tag-product-40792-ap-michigan-sports-only","tag-product-40820-ap-washington-state-sports-only","tag-seattle","tag-spencer-torkelson","tag-tigers","tag-tigers-mariners-score"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718581","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=718581"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718581\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/718582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=718581"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=718581"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=718581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
