Detroit made it 3-0 the next inning. Miguel Cabrera led off with a double but was thrown out at home on Goodrum's single. Goodrum advanced to second on the throw, and with two down, Castro hit an RBI single.

The Mariners broke through in the fourth on Crawford's one-out homer to left. Vogelbach's long ball with one out in the fifth made it 3-2.
