Tigers 3, Mariners 2
SEATTLE — Rick Porcello pitched effectively into the seventh inning, and the Tigers held on. Porcello ran into trouble in the seventh, yielding his first walk to Luis Rodriguez along with two wild pitches. Ryan Perry came in and struck out Jack Wilson to end the inning. Former Durant standout Ryan Raburn hit a 408-foot homer to center in the first off Erik Bedard, and Miguel Cabrera and Brennan Boesch also drove in runs for Detroit.
