Justin Verlander had a perfect game going in the sixth inning, leading 4-0 on Wednesday night, but the Seattle Mariners stormed back to beat the Tigers 7-5, handing them their fifth straight loss.  Jarrod Dyson reached on a bunt single after Verlander had retired the first 16 hitters in a row, including ten by strike out.  After the bunt hit, Seattle erupted for three runs in the sixth forcing Verlander out of the game.  Shane Greene then allowed four runs to the Mariners in the seventh inning.  James McCann and Ian Kinsler hit home runs for the Tigers, while Justin Upton added two hits and three RBI.  The final game of a four game series is set for Thursday night in Seattle.
