Mariners 5, Tigers 3
Six days into his return from a two-week hiatus for mental-health counseling, Milton Bradley created another new twist in his wild first season in Seattle.
An unprecedented, joyous dugout victory lap. In the middle of a game.
Bradley homered, drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning with a single off Justin Verlander then ran into the dugout during a pitching change for a unique celebration as the Mariners rallied past the Detroit Tigers 5-3 on Tuesday.
"I was full of joy the whole day," said the mercurial, newsmaking slugger, who remains in counseling for emotional issues that he said had him thinking "unpleasant thoughts" -- such as understanding why some people commit suicide.
