Tigers' Porcello shuts down Seattle 8-2
 |
SEATTLE (AP) — Detroit's Rick Porcello shut down Seattle for seven innings in just his second major league start, retiring his final 14 batters, and Ramon Santiago had a career-high five RBI in the Tigers' 8-2 win over the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.
The youngest starting pitcher to take the mound for Detroit in almost 30 years, the 20-year-old Porcello looked more like a seasoned veteran shutting down Seattle's offense.
He didn't allow a base runner after Ichiro Suzuki's infield single with one out in the third and gave up one run and five hits. Porcello (1-1) struck out three and didn't issue a walk.
