97.1 The Ticket -- The Mariners slugged their way to an 11-6 win over the Tigers at Comerica Park Tuesday night, thanks in large part to the bats of Kyle Seager and Tom Murphy, who combined for five home runs.

Also thanks in part to Tigers center fielder Niko Goodrum, who had a mishap on Seager's final homer of the night, a two-run shot in the ninth inning.

Seager collided with left fielder Brandon Dixon just in front of the left field wall and the ball hit his glove, then the top of the wall and bounced into the bullpen.

It counted just the same as the other three for Seager. 

Murphy, batting 7th behind Seager, was unable to follow that up with a third homer of his own. Seager and Murphy went back-to-back twice in the game.

The Tigers fell to 35-81 on the season, meaning they would need to rip off 46 straight wins to finish the campaign .500; suffice to say, the Tigers are headed for a third straight losing season and could be staring at a second No. 1 overall draft pick in three years.
