Mariners flip the script with a late homer, beat Tigers 5-3
Detroit – The game flipped on two big swings by the Seattle Mariners against Detroit Tigers reliever Alex Lange in the seventh inning.
The Tigers had just taken 3-2 lead on the second RBI single of the night by Jeimer Candelario and manager AJ Hinch had the path to victory paved for his late-inning relievers Lange, Joe Jimenez and closer Gregory Soto.
Never got there. Abraham Toro blasted a two-run home run off Lange, sending the Mariners to a 5-3 win Wednesday night at Comerica Park.
These have been hard times for Lange. He came into the game with an 8.40 ERA (14 earned runs in 15 innings) since the All-Star break and was torched for three runs in his last outing Sunday in Texas.
