Justin Verlander took on Seattle for the second game in the series looking for his first win of the season. He didn't find it and the Tigers are on a three game losing streak since losing to Kansas City on Thursday and suffering a beating from the Mariners on Friday losing 11-3.
Verlander pitched into the seventh inning allowing seven hits, three earned runs and having six strikeouts. He's winless in three starts and had a 24 pitch opening inning where the first run was scored.
Although his pitching didn't get the job done the Tigers quiet offensive production was no help either.
The team left 16 batter on base and 10 of those batters were left on by the top three in the lineup.
When down 2-0 in the fourth Magglio Ordonez attempted to spark the Tigers hammering a solo home run into left field. But that was the most impressive part of the Tigers offense for the evening only scoring one more run losing to the Mariner's 4-2.
Look for the Tigers to bounce back Sunday as they finish the series in Seattle and look to a four game set with a tough Anaheim Angels team.
