Tigers aim for weekend series sweep of Mariners

Sep 9, 2007 - 12:52 PM Seattle (74-66) at Detroit (77-65) 1:05 pm EDT

DETROIT (Ticker) - The Detroit Tigers look to complete a three-game sweep of the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.

Placido Polanco drove in a season-high four runs and Brandon Inge homered as the Tigers won their fourth straight game, a 12-6 triumph on Saturday.

The surging Tigers are five game behind the first-place Cleveland Indians (82-60) in the American League Central. They trail the New York Yankees (80-62) in the wild card race.

Detroit's Jeremy Bonderman (11-8, 4.73 ERA) takes the hill once again with the hopes of breaking through at home. In his last start here, the righthander allowed three runs in 5 1/3 innings in a loss to the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday.

Bonderman is 2-0 this season against the Mariners this season, improving to 4-2 lifetime.

The Mariners hand the ball to Felix Hernandez (11-7, 3.96), who yielded one run and five hits over seven frames in Monday's win over the New York Yankees.

On July 12 at Safeco Field, Hernandez battled through 6 1/3 innings for his first career win against the Tigers despite giving up 10 hits.

Seattle has lost four straight and 13 of its last 14 games, falling five games back in the wild card race.
