Tigers Secure Fourth Straight Win with Solid Performance Against Mariners

June 5, 2026; Detroit, Michigan, USA – The Detroit Tigers celebrated a triumphant night at Comerica Park, defeating the Seattle Mariners 7-3 and extending their winning streak to four games. The victory comes after a mixed road trip, but the Tigers are clearly riding a wave of momentum after sweeping the Rays earlier in the week.

Right fielder Kerry Carpenter played a pivotal role in the game, hitting a two-run home run in the third inning. The Tigers took the field with confidence, bolstered by the return of Gleyber Torres and the solid pitching of Framber Valdez. The Mariners, who sent Bryan Woo to the mound, were hoping to capitalize on his strong season amidst their struggles.

Seattle struck first with a run in the opening inning, thanks to a single from J.P. Crawford that set the stage for Rob Refsnyder to bring him home. The Tigers, however, quickly found their rhythm, with Torres and McGonigle contributing hits that eventually led to Carpenter's home run and a 3-1 lead.

Midway through the game, the Mariners fought back with a solo shot from Colt Emerson, narrowing the gap to just one run. But the Tigers responded decisively in the seventh inning, with Torres doubling to bring in two runs, followed by Torkelson's home run that extended the lead to 7-3.

In the final inning, Will Vest faced some tension as the Mariners threatened with runners on base, but he managed to close out the game, securing the win for the Tigers. This victory not only showcases the team's resilience but also highlights their growing chemistry as they continue to push for success this season.
