Justin Upton’s leadoff home run in the bottom of the 12th inning gave the Detroit Tigers a wild 8-7 victory over the Seattle Mariners last night. Miguel Cabrera had put Detroit up early with a massive two-run homer in the first inning, but the Mariners scored four off Mike Pelfrey in the second to take the lead. After scoring one in the bottom of the second, Detroit reclaimed the lead with two runs in the fourth on a Cameron Maybin triple. Seattle went back on top with two off Pelfrey in the fifth… Detroit came back with two runs on Upton’s first homer of the night in the seventh… and the Mariners tied it with a run off Justin Wilson in the eighth. Francisco Rodriguez and Alex Wilson held Seattle scoreless in the ninth, 10th and 11th.
