Top of the 1st Inning
A shaky start from our Detroit Tigers, as Victor Robles flied out to left. Jorge Polanco walked and advanced to second with a walk to Randy Arozarena. But Cal Raleigh struck out swinging. Then, Luke Raley also walked, loading the bases. Justin Turner walked, pushing Polanco home for an early Mariners lead. Thankfully, Dominic Canzone grounded out to end the threat.Bottom of the 1st Inning
