Winning for the second time with his second complete game in two starts, Kip Young pitched the Tigers to a 9-1 victory over the Mariners. After the Mariners nicked Young for their lone run in the first inning, the Tigers put the rookie on easy street, scoring four runs in their half of the first, two in the second and two more in the third. Aurelio Rodriguez accounted for three RBIs with a single and a double. [The Sporting News]
