The Seattle Mariners had a rough start to the second half of the season, losing to the Detroit Tigers 5-3 in their first game after the All-Star break.
The Mariners got off to a good start, scoring two runs in the first inning. But the Tigers responded with three runs in the bottom of the first, and never looked back. The Mariners were unable to find the answer to Detroit’s pitching, managing only one more run in the sixth inning.
The loss was a tough one for Seattle, who had been playing well before the All-Star break. The Mariners had won six of their last nine games, and were looking to continue that momentum into the second half.
Unfortunately, Seattle was unable to get anything going against Detroit’s pitching. The Tigers’ starter, Jordan Zimmermann, threw seven innings of two-run ball, and the bullpen shut down the Mariners for the rest of the game.
The loss was a disappointing one for Seattle, but they will look to bounce back in their next game against the Tigers. The Mariners will need to find a way to generate some offense if they want to have any chance of winning.
The Mariners will have to put this loss behind them and focus on their next game if they want to get back on track. It will be a tough road ahead for Seattle, but if they can find a way to get back to their winning ways, they could be in for a successful second half of the season.
