Mariners Stifle Tigers 4-0 as Bryce Miller Delivers Six Scoreless Innings

On Saturday afternoon in Detroit, Seattle’s starting pitcher Bryce Miller allowed just one hit over six innings, guiding the Mariners to a 4-0 victory over the Tigers. Miller surrendered a lead-off triple to Detroit’s Colt Keith in the third inning but retired the next three batters, striking out two. Dominic Canzone provided the offensive spark with a 412-foot double that scored Randy Arozarena and later a 451-foot home run in the fourth. Arozarena added a two-run double in the third, extending Seattle’s lead to 3-0 before Canzone’s homer made it 4-0. Detroit starter Keider Montero gave up four runs on six hits in five innings.
