Tigers 8, Mariners 1
DETROIT — Max Scherzer found his form after three rocky starts and Austin Jackson tripled twice for the Tigers. Victor Martinez had two RBIs and Jhonny Peralta homered for Detroit, which moved within one percentage point of the first-place Indians in the AL Central after being as many as eight games behind in early May. Scherzer had struggled but pitched seven strong innings to tie for the AL lead with his eighth win.
