Seattle Mariners vs Detroit Tigers
7:05 PM ET, June 10, 2011
Comerica Park, Detroit, Michigan
After the Detroit Tigers finally beat the Seattle Mariners at Comerica Park this season, they hope for a better effort than the last time they faced the resurgent Erik Bedard.
The left-hander looks to maintain his recent success Friday night when the Mariners continue their four-game set with the Tigers.
Detroit (34-28) suffered a three-game home sweep at the hands of Seattle in April, but opened an eight-game homestand with a 4-1 victory over the Mariners on Thursday. Alex Avila hit two triples and Justin Verlander struck out a season-high 10 to help the Tigers win for the ninth time in 11 games.
The surging Tigers are one game back of first-place Cleveland in the AL Central.
While Detroit has a chance to move into a first-place tie, it likely must get the best of Bedard (3-4, 3.46 ERA), who allowed one run and five hits in seven innings of a 10-1 win at Comerica on April 27. It came one start after he gave up three runs and a season-high five walks in five innings of a 3-2 home loss to the Tigers on April 20.
