First Inning


The game began with both teams testing each other's defenses, but it was the Tigers who managed to put up an early run on the board. However, this initial lead was short-lived as both teams settled into their rhythm.


Second Inning


Seattle started to find their groove in the second inning, scoring their first run thanks to a couple of well-timed hits. The Mariners' ability to capitalize on opportunities set the tone for what would become an explosive offensive display.


Third Inning


The third inning proved pivotal for Seattle as they unleashed a five-run barrage that left Detroit scrambling. Key contributions came from Julio Rodríguez and Randy Arozarena, whose consistent hitting kept pressure on Detroit's pitching staff. This surge gave Seattle a comfortable lead that they would maintain throughout the game.


Fourth and Fifth Innings


In these middle innings, both teams exchanged blows but it was clear that Seattle had taken control. The Mariners added another run in the fourth while keeping Detroit scoreless until they managed three runs in response during the fifth inning.


Sixth and Seventh Innings


Seattle continued their relentless attack by adding two more runs across these innings while maintaining defensive solidity against any potential comeback from Detroit. Luke Raley's performance stood out as he contributed significantly with his bat and glove work.


Eighth Inning


As fatigue began setting in for both sides, Seattle showed no signs of slowing down by adding two more runs to extend their lead further over Motor City Kitties who could only muster two runs themselves during this period despite multiple attempts at rallying back into contention.


Ninth Inning


In what can be described as icing on cake moment; Emerald City sealed victory emphatically through four additional scores leaving little doubt about outcome even before final pitch was thrown - effectively putting contest beyond reach once again highlighting depth within roster capable delivering under pressure situations consistently when needed most!
