Felix Hernandez pitched just two innings Tuesday night as the Tigers smacked the Mariners in a slugfest 19-9. Hernandez gave up six hits, four runs, and one of seven home runs hit in the game. He will return to Seattle to have his shoulder examined:

Mariners star Felix Hernandez was set to return to Seattle to have a stiff right shoulder checked by team doctors after he lasted only two innings in his start at Detroit on Tuesday night.

Hernandez allowed four runs and six hits in Seattle’s 19-9 loss to the Tigers. There was no injury announcement after he was removed from the game, but afterward, manager Scott Servais said the right-hander was dealing with stiffness.

“He had some stiffness in his shoulder going out for the second inning, but there wasn’t any pain,” Servais said. “He said it was more like a dead arm, but there’s obviously some concern when you are talking about a pitcher’s shoulder. He’s been a horse for us, but we have to get this checked out.”

The Mariners did get Jean Segura back on Tuesday, and he went 3 for 6 with a home run in the losing cause.

For the Tigers, Ian Kinsler collected four hits, and Jim Adduci missed the cycle by a home run. Detroit only collected one more hit with runners in scoring position, but all the Mariners home runs were solo shots, and the other six extra base hits in the game all belonged to the Tigers. Both teams drew seven walks. Long hits move runners home.
