Marcus Thames hit a home run and drove in four runs and MagglioOrdonez homered and drove in three as the Detroit Tigersdefeated the Seattle Mariners, 11-7, to gain a spilt in thefour-game series.


Detroit stole five bases in the game, their most since July 18,2001 against the New York Yankees. Gary Sheffield stole homeduring a three-run sixth inning and became the first Detroitplayer to accomplish that feat since Matt Walbeck on April 11,1997 against the Chicago White Sox.


Detroit hurler Justin Verlander (11-3), fresh from his firstAll-Star appearance, overcame a rocky start to notch his sixthvictory in seven starts.


The 24-year-old righthander improved to 3-0 career against theMariners, allowing four runs, eight hits and a walk whilestriking out six.


In his worst outing since coming off the disabled list June 9,Mariners starter Jeff Weaver (2-7) went five innings and wasroughed up for seven runs and 10 hits while walking three andstriking out three. The 6-5 righthander also threw a wild pitchand hit a batter.


Trailing 2-1 in the fourth inning, the Tigers rallied for fourruns off Weaver, who had been 2-0 since coming off the DL.

Sean Casey walked and stole second to lead off the inning beforeWeaver hit Mike Rabelo with a pitch. Curtis Granderson doubledin a run and Thames followed with his 11th homer.


Seattle closed to within 5-3, before Detroit blew the game openafter loading the bases with no outs in the sixth. Omar Infantescored on a wild pitch and Granderson was plated on a sacrificefly before Sheffield swiped home when reliever Eric O'Flahertythrew to first on a pickoff attempt.


Infante made in 9-3 with his first homer of the year in theseventh and Ordonez hit a two-run blast over the center fieldwall in the eighth to cap Detroit's scoring.


Jose Guillen's two-run homer highlighted a three-run ninth forthe Mariners, but it was a case of too little too late.

Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki left the game in the fifth inning afterbeing hit on the right thigh by a pitch by Verlander. TheAll-Star Game MVP suffered a contusion and is listed asday-to-day.

"It was good for us to come out of here with a split against ateam that's really playing well," Tigers manager Jim Leylandsaid. "It was a nice win for us."


Detroit hurler Justin Verlander (11-3), fresh from his firstAll-Star appearance, overcame a rocky start to notch his sixthvictory in seven starts.

"(Weaver) gets frustrated," Mariners manager John McLaren said."When he doesn't do what he is capable of doing, he gets downon himself a bit. He's been throwing the ball real well upuntil now. It's just one of those games.


"I am very disappointed in the way we didn't protect the catchertoday in the running game. We were trying to do some thingstoday and they didn't work."


Trailing 2-1 in the fourth inning, the Tigers rallied for fourruns off Weaver, who had been 2-0 since coming off the DL.

Sean Casey walked and stole second to lead off the inning beforeWeaver hit Mike Rabelo with a pitch. Curtis Granderson doubledin a run and Thames followed with his 11th homer.

"I had a good jump, that was the key," said Sheffield, who has235 stolen bases during his 20-year career. "I thought it wasgoing to be a close play, but I thought I could get there."

Infante made in 9-3 with his first homer of the year in theseventh and Ordonez hit a two-run blast over the center fieldwall in the eighth to cap Detroit's scoring.
