DETROIT – Justin Verlander struck out a season-high seven and Edgar Renteria hit one of Detroit’s four homers and matched his career high with five RBIs in the Tigers’ 12-8 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night.

Verlander (2-7) gave up one run, four hits and walked one over six innings, earning his first victory in nearly a month.

Curtis Granderson, Magglio Ordonez and Carlos Guillen also homered for the Tigers, who had lost six of seven.

Adrian Beltre hit a solo home run off Verlander in the first inning, then Seattle didn’t score again until the seventh inning when it trailed by 10.
