Kyle Funkhouser got the start for Detroit. He’d had one start before, in a similar situation, on June 13 against the White Sox. In that spot start, he acquitted himself rather well, going 2 2⁄ 3 innings and giving up one hit and no runs in what eventually turned out to be a 4-1 loss.

Short quickly took advantage in his first at-bat, drilling a 2-2 pitch from 6-foot-9 Bailey Ober just over the wall in left. Short, who had two hits, was 1-for-22 this month prior to his third homer of the season. He added a sacrifice fly in the fourth to give the Tigers a 4-0 lead.

Ohtani had the most memorable shot of the night, no doubt. Mitch Haniger hit the most important. Ohtani became the sixth player to reach the upper deck of T-Mobile Park with a towering blast for his 33rd homer, but Haniger’s two-out grand slam in the eighth inning lifted the Seattle Mariners over the Los Angeles Angels 7-3. “He’s got that kind of power, that kind of talent,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said. “But at end of the day it’s only worth one, and (Hangier’s) was worth four.
