The Seattle Mariners (36-37) dropped their sixth in a row, losing 5-4 in 10 innings to the Detroit Tigers (38-35) on Thursday afternoon at Comerica Park. Kyle Ryan (3-2, 2.84 ERA) picked up the win for the Tigers, and Steve Cishek (2-4, 2.70 ERA) took the loss for Seattle.
After Daniel Norris retired the Mariners in the top of the first, scheduled starter Adrian Sampson threw only two warmup pitches before having to be removed from the game with right elbow discomfort.
