Detroit TigersvsBaltimore Orioles
DET 4/BAL 7
Things to say
Orioles beat the Tigers 7-4 at Camden Yards on Friday night.
01
opener
O's took care of business at home, 7-4 over Detroit. Bats finally showed up in Baltimore. Nice to see something click at Camden.
02
key player
Whoever hit in the middle of that Baltimore order ate Detroit's pitching alive — three runs of separation doesn't happen without somebody squaring it up.
03
hot take
Tigers are 20-32 and it's not bad luck anymore, that's just who they are.
04
deep cut
Apple TV game too, so half the country didn't even see it — Friday night baseball buried behind a paywall again.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if Baltimore can string two together — they've got the rest of the series to prove it wasn't a one-off.
The recap
Orioles took care of business at Camden Yards, 7-4 over the Tigers on Apple TV Friday night. Baltimore's bats finally showed up at home, jumping on Detroit early and never really letting the Tigers back into it.
Both clubs are scuffling under .500, but the O's needed this one badly and got contributions up and down the order. Detroit's pen couldn't slam the door once the game tilted, and that was the ballgame.
