Dingler Homers for 3rd Straight Game, Helping Tigers to an 11-0 Win over the Mariners
Tanner Dingler homered for the third straight game as Detroit scored 11 runs and moved within a game of Texas in the wild-card race.
On Thursday, August 6, the Detroit Tigers defeated the Seattle Mariners 11-0, with catcher Dillon Dingler hitting his 26th home run of the season, a 401-foot blast off starter Bryce Miller.
Scoring at least eight runs in seven of their past eight games, the Tigers have accumulated 53 runs on this road trip, demonstrating a sustained offensive surge that fueled their dominant performance.
Pitcher Framber Valdez dominated the Mariners, allowing just five hits over seven scoreless innings while striking out five, and relievers Kyle Finnegan and Brenan Hanifee closed the shutout.
The loss dropped Seattle to 56-60, three games behind Houston in the American League West, while the Tigers improved to 56-59, moving within one game of the Texas Rangers in the wild-card race.
Detroit travels to San Francisco to face the Giants starting Friday, with right-hander Keider Montero starting the opener and fellow righty Jackson Jobe making his much-anticipated 2026 debut on Saturday in a nationally televised game on Fox.
