DETROIT (AP) \u2014 Kevin McGonigle homered in the fourth inning and hit a two-run single off All-Star closer Andr\u00e9s Mu\u00f1oz with two outs in the bottom of the ninth that gave the Detroit Tigers a 5-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Wenceel P\u00e9rez tripled home two runs in the seventh to begin Detroit’s comeback from a 4-1 deficit as the Tigers took two of three games in the series.<\/p>\n
Mu\u00f1oz (3-4) struck out Spencer Torkelson to start the ninth, then walked Zach McKinstry and P\u00e9rez. Both advanced on Matt Vierling’s groundout before McGonigle lined a single<\/a> off the glove of leaping second baseman Cole Young to give Detroit its fifth victory in six games.<\/p>\n Will Vest (2-4) pitched a scoreless inning for the win.<\/p>\n Seattle wasted a strong start from Luis Castillo, who left with a 3-1 lead after yielding three hits in 5 2\/3 innings. The veteran right-hander’s only blemish was McGonigle’s fourth homer<\/a> \u2014 a 420-foot shot leading off the fourth that tied it at 1.<\/p>\n Colt Emerson doubled off Tigers starter Jack Flaherty to begin the third before scoring on Young’s one-out single to put Seattle up 1-0.<\/p>\n Julio Rodr\u00edguez singled and scored on a double by Josh Naylor for a 2-1 lead in the sixth. Flaherty left after walking Randy Arozarena. The right-hander allowed three runs and six hits in five-plus innings.<\/p>\n Drew Sommers relieved Flaherty and hit Emerson with a bases-loaded pitch to make it 3-1. Kyle Finnegan entered and retired Jhonny Peralta on a lineout to center field to end the inning.<\/p>\n Rodr\u00edguez walked with one out in the seventh, stole second and third, and scored on Arozarena\u2019s two-out single off Finnegan for a 4-1 lead.<\/p>\n Mariners reliever Cooper Criswell gave up P\u00e9rez’s two-run triple in the bottom of the seventh and failed to get an out. Gabe Speier retired Vierling on a pinch-hit grounder to third, and McGonigle on a shallow fly to left before striking out Gleyber Torres to keep it 4-3.<\/p>\n Seattle had homered in nine straight games.<\/p>\n Seattle Mariners<\/a>Seattle<\/a>Sports<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"article Detroit Tigers’ Kevin McGonigle hits a solo home run against the Seattle Mariners in the fourth inning…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":691037,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[30485,5463,363,1839,99,25,41057],"class_list":["post-691036","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-king-county","tag-mariners","tag-mlb","tag-seattle","tag-sports","tag-us","tag-wa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691036","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=691036"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691036\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/691037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=691036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=691036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=691036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
