The Detroit Tigers edged the Seattle Mariners 5–4 on June 7 at Comerica Park in a low-scoring affair that fell well short of Vegas expectations. Despite out-hitting Detroit 11–6, Seattle's offense struggled to convert opportunities, managing just four runs and zero home runs while striking out 11 times. The Tigers capitalized on their limited chances, driving in five runs on six hits with one home run, though they also struck out seven times and posted a modest .695 OPS. Detroit's pitching staff was the difference-maker, striking out 11 Seattle batters while allowing just 11 hits and four earned runs for a 4.00 ERA. Seattle's pitchers kept the game competitive with a 3.50 ERA and seven strikeouts, but the Mariners' inability to generate power and their 11 strikeouts proved costly in the one-run loss. The Tigers' defensive efficiency, marred only by one error, helped them hold on despite being outhit. Detroit's pitching depth will be crucial as they look to build on this narrow home victory.
