Tough Day at the Office for Orioles Fans 
Well, O's fans, it was a nail-biting game against the Detroit Tigers, but unfortunately, we came up just short with a final score of 4-3 in favor of Detroit. The game was a rollercoaster of emotions every inning. Let’s break it down!A Rocky Start
The game started off with some unfortunate plays. Cedric Mullins managed to reach first on a throwing error by shortstop Trey Sweeney, but things quickly turned with Gunnar Henderson grounding into a double play. As the Tigers took their turn, it was the second inning where they really made it count, bringing in two runs thanks to a couple of key at-bats from Javier Báez and a sacrifice fly by Gleyber Torres. The score was 2-0, but we held hope because, hey, it's baseball – anything can happen!
️Momentum Shift Mid-Game
Ryan O'Hearn gave us a glimpse of hope in the top of the 4th with a solo shot to left center, putting us on the board. It was exactly the spark we needed to remind the Tigers that the Orioles weren't going down without a fight!
Ramon Urías also came through later on in the 8th with a solo homer, trimming the Tigers' lead to just one run. Despite our bullpen trying to hold the Tigers at bay, with Greene's homer in the 7th, the gap widened again to 4-2. Fighting to the Last Out
Top of the 9th... the anticipation of every fan was palpable. Adley Rutschman gave it his all with a walk and our hopes continued to flicker. But alas, with a final fly-out by Cedric Mullins, followed by strikeouts from Gunnar Henderson and Jordan Westburg, the Tigers sealed their victory. It was a hard-fought battle and even though we didn't come out on top, there's always the next game. Let's keep our heads high and hope for some Oriole magic tomorrow!
Stay hopeful, Birdland! We're proud of our guys and it wasn't an easy loss. Onto the next!
