Mariners 6, Detroit 3

After Justin Verlander retires the first 12 Mariner hitters, the M's explode for five runs in the fifth to overcome a 3-0 Tigers lead. Well, not so much "explode," as they have two bunts in the inning, and score on an error and a wild pitch. Felix Hernandez fights through early struggles to get the win, and the bullpen provides three scoreless innings. Next game: Tomorrow vs. Detroit at 6:10 p.m. Erik Bedard vs. Edwin Jackson.

I'm impressed, I thought they were done after the way Verlander looked early on.

Re Felix's 'struggles' -

In the inning he gave up the 3 runs, I believe there was one solid, out-of-the-infield-on-the-fly hit. Pretty similar to Verlander's situation. While the typically mindless announcers implied he was collapsing, he surely wasn't being hit hard.
