Detroit 9, Mariners 7
The M's fought back from 8-1 down to make this respectable, even getting the go-ahead run to the plate in the ninth. Still, the score was secondary in this one after Franklin Gutierrez took a horrific spill after crashing into the Comerica Park scoreboard chasing a flyball. Luckily for those of us having 1995 flashbacks Gooters suffered only bruises -- nothing broken, nothing torn. M's 49-44, 5.5 GB. Box score. Next game Tues @ DET, 4:05 p.m.; King Felix vs. Galarraga.
