Detroit Tigers give up 19 hits in 15-7 blowout loss to Seattle Mariners
Is Alex Bregman an option for Detroit Tigers at trade deadline?
Mike Ferrin, co-host of Power Alley on MLB Network Radio, explores the possibility of the Tigers trading for Alex Bregman this season.
Before the Detroit Tigers’ game against the Seattle Mariners on Saturday, July 12, starting pitcher Casey Mize had not given up more than four earned runs in a game throughout his 2025 All-Star season.
He gave up five earned runs in the third inning alone on Saturday. And then the Mariners added a whole lot more later on.
Much like his All-Star teammate Tarik Skubal did on Friday, July 11, Mize put in his worst start of the year right before the All-Star break as the Tigers lost 15-7 to the Mariners at Comerica Park. It was the most runs the Tigers have allowed in a game this season.
Mize finished the game allowing six earned runs on six hits over three innings pitched. It was Mize’s shortest outing of the season by both innings and pitch count (68), as he raised his season ERA from 2.63 to 3.15 on Saturday.
The crushing blow of the afternoon was a three-run home run from Seattle first baseman Luke Raley in the fifth inning, which gave the Mariners a 6-1 lead. But the team had already established their offensive rhythm well before.
Down 1-0 in the top of the second inning, the Mariners tied the game after left fielder Randy Arozarena led off the inning with a single and a stolen base. Mize got the next two batters out, but Mariners right fielder Dominic Canzone drove Arozarena in with a well-struck single up the middle on the first pitch he faced.
After a double from Mariners second baseman Cole Young led off the third inning, shortstop J.P. Crawford broke the tie with an RBI single, giving Seattle a 2-1 lead. Later in the inning, catcher Cal Raleigh drove center fielder Julio Rodríguez in with a sacrifice fly to right field, Rodríguez initially finding himself on third base after a bad throw from catcher Jake Rogers gave Rodríguez a steal of second base and an advancement to third base.
The running game played a critical role early on for the Mariners, with both of Seattle’s runs initially getting into scoring position via a stolen base. Both Rodríguez and Arozarena each attempted two steals in the first three innings, with the Tigers only turning one of those attempts into an out after Mize picked off Rodríguez at second base in the first inning
Righty Keider Montero entered the game for Mize in the fourth inning with the Tigers down 6-1. A one-out, RBI single from Rodríguez off Montero in the fourth scored third baseman Ben Williamson from first, giving the Mariners a 7-1 lead.
Rodríguez added his second home run of the series in the sixth inning, a solo shot off Montero that gave the Mariners an 8-4 lead, while a two-out RBI from Williamson in the seventh gave the Mariners their ninth run of the game. Arozarena’s two-run shot in the eighth gave the Mariners their 11th run, their second straight game with double-digit runs against the Tigers after scoring 12 on Friday.
A bases-clearing double from Crawford highlighted a four-run ninth as the Mariners set their season-high in runs. The Mariners offense also registered 19 hits on Saturday, their highest total in a game in 2025.
Tigers bats can’t keep up despite Greene’s 4 RBIs
Tigers left fielder Riley Greene had his seventh game with at least 4 RBIs on Saturday, but they marked a big part of a Tigers offensive output that fell short against Seattle.
With the Tigers down 7-1 in the fifth inning, Greene poked a George Kirby splitter to left field, just far enough to clear the wall for a three-run home run, his 23rd of the season. The home run gave Greene his 77th RBI of the year, eclipsing his previous career high (74 in 2024) in 43 fewer games played.
It brought the Tigers back into the game with the lineup struggling through the first four innings. But it wasn’t nearly enough to keep up with Seattle.
After Colt Keith walked to lead off the first inning, Gleyber Torres smacked a double to the gap in left-center field, extending his career-high on-base streak to 24 games. It’s the longest active on-base streak in the American League and is the first time a Tiger has had a 24-game on-base streak since Kerry Carpenter from Aug. 2-28 of the 2023 season.
Greene drove Keith in two batters later on a shallow fly ball to left field to make it a 1-0 game. Arozarena caught the ball on the run but sailed a throw to home plate that catcher Cal Raleigh couldn’t reach, allowing Torres to reach third.
Spencer Torkelson then reached after getting hit in the arm and Zach McKinstry loaded the bases after a walk, but Matt Vierling couldn’t turn in a two-out RBI, grounding into a fielder’s choice to end the inning with the Tigers ahead.
It was the only lead the Tigers had all game.
A seventh-inning RBI single from Wenceel Pérez and a two-run home run from McKinstry in the eighth brought the Tigers back within four runs, as they cut Seattle’s lead to 11-7. A walk to Colt Keith brought the tying run in Gleyber Torres to the plate with one out, but a soft lineout against Mariners’ reliever Matt Brash and a groundout from Pérez ended the threat.
With the loss, the Tigers tied their season-worst losing streak at three games. They look to avoid the sweep against the Mariners on Sunday, July 13, with first pitch at Comerica Park scheduled for 1:10 p.m. ET.

Detroit Tigers blow lead, lose to Kansas City Royals on walk-off hit.
The Tigers lost, 4-3, to the Royals on Kyle Isbel’s walk-off single in the ninth inning.
Kansas City, Mo. — The losing streak is now five games. The road record is now an MLB-worst 6-16.
The Kansas City Royals prolonged the Tigers’ misery Saturday night with a relatively breezy 5-1 win at Kauffman Stadium.
Oh, and the Tigers might’ve lost another player in the process.
Right fielder Kerry Carpenter left the game in the third inning. He banged his left shoulder running into the side wall chasing Bobby Witt Jr.’s first-inning, two-run, inside-the-park home run.
Witt, a right-handed hitter, sliced a drive inside the bag at first. Carpenter chased it toward the side wall, but the ball caromed past him. Witt never stopped running.
Carpenter stayed in the game and even rolled an infield single in the second inning. But he was replaced by Wenceel Perez when the Royals came to bat in the third inning.
BOX SCORE: Royals 5, Tigers 1
He was being evaluated during the game.
The two-run homer by Witt ended up being more than the Tigers’ sputtering offense could overcome. But, for good measure, Michael Massey added a three-run home run off Ty Madden in the fourth inning.
Madden ended up being one of the few bright spots in the game for the Tigers. He pitched six innings and allowed just one other hit. He set down the last 11 hitters he faced.
He entered in the third inning after opener Burch Smith and lefty Tyler Holton worked one time through the Royals’ batting order.
Holton made a nifty escape in the first inning. With runners at second and third and one out, and two runs already in, Jac Caglianone hit a hard ground ball to second baseman Zach McKinstry, who was playing in on the grass.
McKinstry got the out at first. The runner at second, Carter Jensen, mistakenly broke for third where Vinnie Pasquantino was holding.
Spencer Torkelson threw to shortstop Kevin McGonigle who threw to catcher Jake Rogers once Pasquantino broke for home — your basic 4-3-6-2 double-play.
Not much else went the Tigers’ way.
Royals right-hander Michael Wacha snuffed out the few scoring opportunities the Tigers mustered.
He worked around an error and a McKinstry stolen base in the third innings. He got Jake Rogers to pop to shallow right field with runners at first and third and one out and then got Matt Vierling to ground out with the bases loaded in the fifth.
Wacha allowed two hits in seven innings. The Tigers put 18 balls in play against him with a soft average exit velocity of 84.4 mph.
The Tigers broke through in the eighth against lefty reliever Matt Strahm. And it was left-handed hitters who did the dirty work. Riley Greene, who extended his career-high on-base streak to 20 games, doubled home McGonigle.
This season is a long way from over but Tigers, 18-22, are in serious need a course correction.

4Warn Weather – SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy skies. A chance of showers and thunderstorms. A few storms could be strong with gusty winds and hail. High: 71.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy skies, becoming partly cloudy skies late. Low: 45.
SUNDAY (MOTHER’S DAY): Mix of sunshine and clouds, cooler temperatures. High: 61.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy skies. Another chilly night. Low: 41.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny skies, remaining chilly. High: 58.
After a beautiful end to the week on Friday with sunshine and a little cloud cover, with warmer temperatures moving into the region as well, some of us are waking up to some patchy dense fog on Saturday morning. Some places south of M-59 are seeing reduced visibilities down to around a mile. If you do run into some patchy dense fog, be sure to use your low beams.
That warming trend continues into the start of the weekend on Saturday, but it also brings a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Another cold front will work through the region by Saturday afternoon and early Saturday evening and that will bring our thunderstorm chance. High temperature is warming into low 70s by Saturday afternoon.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed most of the region under a Marginal Risk (1 out of 5) on our severe weather scale for the start of the weekend. Gusty winds and hail are the primary threats as we work through the start of the weekend, but this will not be a widespread threat for severe thunderstorms.
Behind that cold front for the end of the weekend on Sunday, we will keep a mixture of sunshine and clouds into the forecast. High temperatures running about 10 to 15° cooler to end the weekend. Expect high to warm into the upper 50s to lower 60s by Sunday afternoon.
Drier weather sticks around for the start of next week, before another chance of rain moves into the region by the time we get to Tuesday. The cooler-than-average temperatures will continue into the start of next week as well. Expect high temperatures to remain in the 50s for Monday and Tuesday.
Temperature start to warm up by the middle of next week, and Drier weather moves back in by Wednesday behind another cold front moving into the region. Expect high temperatures into the lower 60s on Wednesday to warm into the upper 60s by the time we get to Thursday. Above average temperatures move back into the region as we look ahead into the end of the week, expect high temperatures back into the lower 70s by the time we get to Friday.
