Curtis Granderson's homer put him in elite company and Justin Verlander gave up one run over eight innings as Detroit beat the Seattle Mariners 6-1 Friday night for its first three-game winning streak in nearly two months.

"That makes it all the better," Granderson said.

Granderson hit his 20th home run in the seventh inning, making him just the sixth player since 1900 with at least 20 homers, 20 triples and 20 doubles in one season. George Brett, in 1979 for Kansas City, was the last player to pull off the feat and Willie Mays also did it.
