Final Score: Detroit 2, Seattle 1 (15 innings)

Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Marcus Thames' sacrifice fly off catcher- turned-pitcher Jamie Burke provided the winning margin as the Detroit Tigers won a 15-inning pitcher's duel over the Seattle Mariners, 2-1, to salvage a split in a four-game series at Safeco Field. Five Seattle relievers combined on nine scoreless innings and kept the game tied into the 15th, but the M's relief corps was exhausted and Burke -- who entered the game as a catcher in the ninth inning -- was forced to come on in relief. He allowed a leadoff double to Miguel Cabrera, and pinch-runner Mike Hollimon advanced to third on a wild pitch before scoring when Thames lofted a fly ball to left. But, Burke settled down to keep the deficit at 2-1. Todd Jones worked a scoreless bottom half to finish off the marathon and notch his 16th save.

Yuniesky Betancourt's RBI double provided the scoring for the Mariners, who lost for just the third time in their last 10 games. Seattle's only All-Star, Ichiro Suzuki, went 1-for-6 with a walk. Burke (0-1) took the loss after reliever Cesar Jimenez got the M's into the 15th with four hitless innings, backing up Ryan Rowland-Smith, who held Detroit to a run on five hits in his five-inning start.
