Detroit Tigers give up 19 hits in 15-7 blowout loss to Seattle Mariners

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.

Clear skies give Metro Detroit perfect Blue Moon viewing weather

4Warn Weather – After a gorgeous Saturday, wonderful weather will continue for Metro Detroit for the second half of the weekend and into next week.

Don’t forget to check out the Blue Moon this evening; our sun sets just after 9 p.m. It’s named the Blue Moon not for color, but because it’s the second full moon of the month.

Check out the Blue Moon tonight at dusk (WDIV)

It’s also a micromoon, meaning the moon is at its farthest point from the earth that it will be all month. It will reach peak fullness at 4:45 a.m. Sunday morning.

Having two full moons in one month only happens once about every 2 to 3 years.

Also, Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury will line up in the western sky.

If you’ll be sitting or standing outdoors for a bit, temperatures will be comfortable tonight, falling to near 60° by 10 p.m. before dropping to the low 40s to near 50° overnight.

Forecasted low temps tonight (WDIV)

That leads to a beautiful Sunday with sunshine and highs in the low to mid 70s.

Forecasted high temps Sunday (WDIV)

UV levels will be in the Very High range tomorrow, so if you’ll be outside you may want to grab the sunscreen.

Southeast Michigan will continue to have plenty of sunny days into the coming week. The next chance for rain holds off until late Friday.

Highs will warm to around 80° for Monday for most areas. Closer to the shoreline you’ll find more 70s if not the 60s. Tuesday and Wednesday will feature highs back near 80° before we see mid 80s Thursday and Friday.

Archdiocese of Detroit’s list of parishes chosen for halted Masses grows

Archdiocese of Detroit’s list of parishes chosen for halted Masses grows

The list of churches targeted for the possible stoppage of weekend Masses has grown to at least 58 parishes across southeast Michigan, according to the latest proposed models the Archdiocese of Detroit had released as part of its major restructuring process through Friday.

At least 22 parishes under the first round of proposed models wouldn’t hold weekend Mass. The archdiocese has been divided into 15 planning areas, or geographic areas, and three or four models are being proposed for each planning area, said the Rev. Mario Amore, executive director of parish renewal for the Archdiocese of Detroit.

The archdiocese has been holding listening sessions with parishioners this spring as part of its restructuring plan to get reactions.

The models have different proposed groupings of parishes, in which a grouping would share a pastor and potentially other priests. In some cases, selected churches in the grouping would no longer hold Sunday Mass.

The Archdiocese of Detroit released on May 22 and this past week the model proposals for another five planning areas, including areas of Macomb County, Oakland County and Detroit. Around 36 more parishes would no longer hold Mass in the future under the latest proposals.

Bunches of churches in Detroit would be affected, while four parishes in Troy and three parishes in Clinton Township wouldn’t have Saturday Vigil Mass or Sunday Mass under each of the proposed models presented for their planning areas.

Archdiocese of Detroit spokesperson Holly Fournier said the archdiocese has heard a wide range of reactions about the proposed models, which is “understandable given how personal parish life is for people.”

“Some pastors and parishioners are hopeful about opportunities for stronger collaboration and renewed ministry, while others are experiencing more uncertainty and concern, especially in places where one or more models suggest a parish might no longer host weekend Masses in the future,” she said.

Fournier emphasized that the models are “draft models” and aren’t final decisions.

The models for the final six planning areas will be released in June, according to the restructuring website.

The models are part of the archdiocese’s biggest restructuring plan in years. Announced last fall, Archbishop Edward Weisenburger said the archdiocese can’t maintain the roughly 200 existing parish buildings it has and is working to “right-size” the archdiocese, along with its personnel and financial resources.

These are the latest affected parishes in Detroit, Oakland and Macomb counties

Fournier said the draft models were developed by priests earlier this year and are being presented in listening sessions as proposals “meant to spark broader consultation with the faithful.” Each parish in the archdiocese is holding listening sessions this spring or early summer.

In other dioceses that have undergone restructuring processes like the Archdiocese of Detroit’s, as many as 20-40% of the initial models were changed as a result of parishioner feedback, Fournier said.

“That is why it is so important for Catholics to attend their parish listening sessions to view these models and provide their honest feedback, so informed adjustments can be made where necessary,” she said in an email.

One of the most heavily affected groupings is Planning Area 1, which includes west Detroit. Ten of its 13 parishes would not have Saturday Vigil Mass or Sunday Mass in at least one of the model plans. They include Christ the King, Presentation/Our Lady of Victory, SS. Peter and Paul (Jesuit), SS. Peter and Paul (Westside), St. Charles Lwanga Church, St. Mary of Redford, St. Moses the Black Parish, St. Peter Claver Parish, St. Scholastica and St. Suzanne-Our Lady Gate of Heaven, all of which are in Detroit.

Planning Area 9, which includes southeastern Oakland County, has between 15 and 19 parishes, depending on the model. Ten of the parishes wouldn’t hold weekend Mass in at least one of the models. Four of them are in Troy.

They include St. Lucy in Troy, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Troy, Christ Our Light in Troy, St. Thomas More in Troy, St. Owen in Bloomfield Township, Our Lady of La Salette in Berkley, Our Mother of Perpetual Help in Oak Park, St. Justin-St. Mary Magdalen in Hazel Park, St. Vincent Ferrer in Madison Heights and Divine Providence in Southfield.

Planning Area 10, which includes all of northern Oakland County and parts of western Oakland County, has 19 to 22 parishes, depending on the model. Seven would stop holding weekend Mass in at least one of the models, including St. Benedict in Waterford Township, St. Thomas More in Troy, Sacred Heart in Auburn Hills, St. John Fisher Chapel University Parish in Auburn Hills, St. Perpetua in Waterford Township, St. Rita in Holly and Prince of Peace in West Bloomfield Township.

Planning Area 12, which includes parts of southern and eastern Macomb County, has 16 parishes. Four Warren parishes and three Clinton Township parishes would stop holding Mass under the draft models.

St. Louise de Marillac in Warren wouldn’t hold Saturday Vigil or Sunday Mass in two of the three draft models presented by the archdiocese. Six other parishes would not hold weekend Mass in only one of the models, including St. Louis in Clinton Township, San Francesco in Clinton Township, St. Ronald in Clinton Township, St. Martin de Porres in Warren, St. Faustina in Warren and St. Mark in Warren.

Planning Area 13, which includes areas of central and northern Macomb County and a parish in Troy, has 14 or 16 parishes, depending on the draft model. Three parishes in the planning area wouldn’t have weekend Mass under at least one of the models: St. Jane Frances de Chantal in Sterling Heights, St. Matthias in Sterling Heights and SS. John and Paul in Washington Township.

Amore said that if a church stops holding Sunday Mass, parishioners are encouraged to worship at other churches in their “pastorate,” which is a grouping of parishes overseen by a pastor. In the long term, the church building might close, or other sacramental celebrations might take place there, such as weddings and baptisms, he said.

The parish’s buildings could also be repurposed for other uses, such as religious education classes.

Fournier said the proposed models are meant to “foster discussion and discernment.”

“We encourage Catholics to stay engaged in the process, share their feedback honestly, and remember that the goal is not simply organizational change, but ensuring vibrant Catholic communities for future generations,” she said.
