Four errors dooms Detroit as Seattle crushes Tigers, 10-1

Erik Bedard pitched seven innings for his first win since June 2009, and Justin Smoak homered and drove in a career-high five runs to help the Seattle Mariners rout the Detroit Tigers 10-1.

Bedard allowed a run in the bottom of the first on Miguel Cabrera’s RBI double, but that was it for the Tigers. He struck out Austin Jackson with men on second and third to end the fifth.

Justin Verlander (2-3) allowed four runs—three earned—and five hits in six innings. He struck out eight and walked three.
