Detroit tacked on another run in the second. Timo Perez doubled to left and, a batter later, came around to score on Brandon Inge's run-scoring single.
The Mariners finally got on the board in the fourth. Vidro got on with a leadoff double, moved up 90-feet on Jose Guillen's ground ball and scored when Raul Ibanez lofted a sacrifice fly to right.
The Tigers got that run back in the sixth. Ordonez doubled to center, moved to third on Carlos Guillen's ground ball and crossed the plate on Ivan Rodriguez's single to right.
