DETROIT — Javier Báez hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning and the Detroit Tigers held the Seattle Mariners to one hit and rallied for a 2-1 win to complete a three-game sweep. The teams were playing for the sixth time in nine days. Detroit won two of three last week in Seattle. The Mariners got seven scoreless innings from their starter for the second game in a row and once again handed the lead to Yimi García. On Wednesday, he allowed Kerry Carpenter's tying homer in what ended up a 3-2 loss in 10 innings.
