Seattle Mariners muster just five hits in 4-2 loss to Detroit Tigers
SEATTLE (AP) — Parker Meadows homered and drove in two runs, Keider Montero pitched six strong innings and the Detroit Tigers beat the Seattle Mariners 4-2 on Tuesday night.
Detroit Tigers 4, Seattle Mariners 2: Box score
Montero (2-5), making the eighth start of his career, allowed just four hits, including Luke Raley’s solo homer in the fifth.
Meadows put the Tigers on the board first with an RBI single off Mariners starter Luis Castillo in the fourth, and Detroit plated two more runs in the fifth on RBI singles by Colt Keith and Wenceel Pérez to make it 3-0.
Meadows made it 4-1 with a 415-foot blast off Trent Thornton in the eighth. Meadows has two hits in each of his two games since coming off a nearly month-long injured list stint on Saturday, with a triple and a home run.
“I think the biggest part of that, obviously, he’s getting better pitches to hit,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. “His bats have been really good, his outs have been competitive, his damage is noteworthy tonight, … his rehab was good and his reintroduction back to this level has been very fun to see.”
Raley pulled Seattle within two runs with his homer in the fifth inning, and Seattle scored again when Jorge Polanco hit a flyball that fell between Pérez and Meadows in right-center field for an RBI single in the ninth.
Castillo (9-11) went six innings and allowed three earned runs on eight hits, with nine strikeouts.
Montero struck out a career-high eight and walked one.
“One of the things I’ve been doing is to calm myself down, put the emotions down on the mound,” Montero said through translator Carlos Guillén. “I’m not very fond of the hitters taking the rhythm towards me, because I like to impose my rhythm on the mound. It’s one of the things, I’ve been working on it, and we’re getting progress on it. I’m very proud of what we’re doing so far.”
Beau Brieske got two outs in the ninth, and Tyler Holton struck out Mitch Garver for the final out and his fourth save.
Both teams struck out 14 times.
Cade Marlowe pinch-hit for DH Justin Turner in the ninth. Turner was hit on the left hand by a 95 mph fastball from Will Vest in the seventh, but initially stayed in the game.
After the game, manager Scott Servais said that X-rays were negative, and Turner is day-to-day.
“You’re always nervous something is going to be fractured,” Servais said. “Hopefully, we dodged a bullet there and we’ll see if he’s going to be available tomorrow or not. We’ll just have to wait and see when we get here to the ballpark.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Tigers: RHP Casey Mize (hamstring) will make a rehab start for Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, according to Hinch … OF Kerry Carpenter (lumbar spine stress fracture) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday … OF Riley Greene (hamstring) is with the team and doing defensive drills, batting practice, and a running progression as he works back from a hamstring strain he suffered in late July.
Mariners: OF Julio Rodriguez (ankle sprain) took batting practice on Tuesday and is progressing in his rehab, but Servais said there is still no timetable for Rodriguez’ return … OF Dominic Canzone (adductor strain) played Tuesday in Triple-A Tacoma and could return from his minor league rehab assignment by the end of the Mariners’ current homestand.

West Seattle pickleball players rallied this week as they ramp up opposition to Seattle Parks‘ Draft Outdoor Racquet-Sports Strategy, which would – among other things – change dual-striped courts at High Point and Alki to tennis-only. Next milepost along the way: Tomorrow night (Thursday, April 23), the Board of Parks and Recreation Commissioners – a city-convened advisory group – gets briefed on the “strategy.” Though board meetings usually have a public-comment period, the department is directing comments to the three feedback meetings (none in West Seattle, though some local advocates are trying to get one set up). The advocate who contacted us says they’re trying to “show their support to save these vital community resources. These courts are used by hundreds of people every week to stay active and connect with neighbors. We have no idea why the city would seek to do away with such highly used and inclusive gathering places.” They’re describing what they’re doing as a “WS-specific effort … aimed at saving pickleball at Walt Hundley and Alki. We are planning another larger rally on a weekend in Mid/Late May where we hope to turn out the entire West Seattle pickleball community and invite our local elected leaders and city officials to see how many lives are touched by pickleball in West Seattle.” In the meantime, they’re continuing to collect petition signatures here. Tomorrow night’s Parks Board meeting is being held in person downtown and via Zoom at 6 pm – attendance info is here.
over at Bleeding Green Nation. During the off-season, he’s been writing his mock
draft blog and just wrote up–a rather lengthy–mock pick for the Seahawks at
#32.
Personally, not enamored with the pick, but he does a VERY deep dive into the
offensive and defensive makeup of the Hawks, trying…
After months of build up, the Seattle Seahawks are less than 48 hours from being on the clock for their first pick of the NFL Draft, as long as they hold on to pick No. 32 in the first round.
Seahawks Draft: A mid-round edge rusher with elite length
While the offensive line has long been a need for the Seahawks in drafts, this year running back, edge rusher and cornerback are among their top positions of need.
Former NFL quarterback Brock Huard highlighted a pair of players who could help bolster the Seahawks’ edge group as he continued his draft profile series Tuesday during Seattle Sports’ Brock and Salk.
In this edition of Huard’s draft profiles, he looked at Michigan edge rushers Derrick Moore and Jaishawn Barham, who also played on the same team together in high school at St. Frances Academy in Baltimore.
Huard pointed to the connection head coach Mike Macdonald, a former Michigan defensive coordinator, and many members of his coaching staff have to the Michigan program.
“They know these guys, they know them inside and out,” Huard said. “They typically like they’re Michigan men, and these are two physical guys that have all the attributes you’re looking for on the edge.”
The high-floor pick
Moore is coming off a decorated four-year career at Michigan where he piled up 24.5 tackles for loss, 21 sacks, eight passes defended and three forced fumbles in 53 games.
This past season, the 6-foot-3, 255-pound Moore totaled 10.5 tackles for loss, 10 sacks and two forced fumbles while earning first-team All-Big Ten honors.
“I think this is a pretty fair quote about him: ‘Unselfish, well-rounded, high floor.’ Is he a high-ceiling guy? Not as much as Barham, but he’s a very high-floor guy,” Huard said.
NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah has Moore ranked as the No. 65 prospect in this years draft. ESPN has him ranked 60th.
“He is just your fierce, tough, edgy, productive (player),” Huard said. “He played in space a little bit more. They are field-boundary scheme at Michigan at times. He’s been more of the field rusher, more against your left tackle. And (he’s) just got more in the tool bag… He’s been a defensive end. He’s pretty well versed in it. He’s going to have a bigger tool bag, I think, than both Boye (Mafe) and Derrick Hall had, and he’s going to be a second, late-second-round (pick). Rugged, tough Michigan guy.”
The high-ceiling pick
Barham spent his first two college seasons at Maryland, which included earning Freshman All-American honors in 2022, and transferred to Michigan in 2024. He played linebacker at Maryland and in his first season at Michigan before making the move to edge for his final college season.
In 12 games at a new position in 2025, the 6-foot-3, 240-pound Barham amassed 10 tackles for loss and 4.0 sacks.
“Jaishawn Barham is a little bit more of a wild card, and one of the scouts that was quoted in some of the prep for this said he may bloom with the right coaching,” Huard said.
Huard recalled seeing Barham as a freshman at Maryland while he was doing color commentary for FOX and being in awe of how physically mature he already looked.
“I remember being on the field, as a freshman, looking at him going, ‘There’s just no way. There’s no way humanly possible that that guy played high school football the year before,’” Huard said.
Jeremiah has Barham ranked as the No. 77 prospect in the draft. ESPN has him ranked 88th.
“He is a higher ceiling guy you’re going to have to coach up,” Huard said. “He doesn’t come with years and years and years of experience on the edge.”
