Cano breaks hand; Ohtani fans 11
DETROIT — Even if Seattle had won, this would have been a tough day for the Mariners.
Robinson Cano left the game in the third inning with a fracture in his right hand, and the Mariners went on to lose 5-4 to the Detroit Tigers on Sunday when Jose Iglesias hit an RBI single in the bottom of the ninth. The defeat marked the first time all season that Seattle lost a series on the road, but the bigger issue is the health of the Mariners’ standout second baseman.
“I see a specialist on Tuesday morning. They didn’t say anything about how long I might be out, but it is broken bad, so there might be surgery,” Cano said.
