SEATTLE (AP) — Bryce Miller tossed five sharp innings in his return from the injured list, Cal Raleigh hit his 12th home run and the Seattle Mariners avoided a three-game sweep with a 2-0 win over the Detroit Tigers. Seattle got back to .500 with 70 games left in the regular season, but it was an overall disappointing weekend coming out of the All-Star break for the Mariners. Miller had been sidelined since leaving his June 30 start against Tampa Bay with a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand. The rookie right-hander scattered five hits, struck out three and relied more than usual on his secondary pitches. Matt Brash, Justin Topa, Andrés Muñoz and Paul Sewald combined to allow only one hit over the final four innings.
