In a commanding performance, the Detroit Tigers achieved their first victory of the 2025 season, defeating the Seattle Mariners 9-6. The Tigers capitalized on a stellar first inning, sending 11 batters to the plate and scoring six runs against Emerson Hancock, who managed just two outs. Key contributions came from Riley Greene, who launched his first homer of the season, and Javier Báez, who hit a two-RBI double.

Despite a strong showing from the Mariners, including a late two-run home run by Cal Raleigh, the Tigers maintained control throughout the game. Pitcher Jackson Jobe made his MLB starting debut, showcasing his potential with a fastball reaching 97 mph but struggled with command, allowing four walks. Will Vest's critical strikeout of Julio Rodríguez in the sixth inning proved vital in securing the win for the Tigers.
