Detroit's recent run of good pitching took a break last night

Detroit had a run of 14 quality starts in the last 18 games that had moved them 2 over .500 after their slow start.

But last night they made light hitting Seattle look like the Yankees or Rangers for the second time this season. Phil Coke gave up 7 runs on 8 hits, 6 of those for extra bases, in 4.1 innings pitched. He's now 1-4 on the season.

Ryan Raburn got an assist on a Seattle home run. He attempted to make a leaping catch at the edge of the warning track on a line-drive. The ball hit off the heel of his glove and ricocheted about 15-20 feet in the air, and over the left field wall. It could have been an out, should have been a double, and turned into a home run.

It was that kind of night, and Seattle cruised 7-3. Give Felix Hernandez 7 runs every game and he might go undefeated. Brandon Inge had a 2-run double for the Tigers, and Brennan Boesch drove in a run.
