DETROIT (AP) -- Felix Hernandez allowed only a run in seven innings, rookie Alex Liddi hit a two-run homer and the Seattle Mariners went on to beat the slumping Detroit Tigers 9-1 Wednesday night.
Hernandez (2-1) gave up a solo homer to Brennan Boesch in the third and not much else.
The right-hander yielded four hits and three walks, giving all of the free passes in the first. Adam Wilk (0-3) allowed six runs and eight hits in just two-plus innings.
The rookie gave up just two runs in each of his first two starts.
The Tigers have lost five of six after starting 9-3. Seattle has won two straight after losing four in a row.
