Riley Greene had a solid moment in the first when he singled to right, showing us why he's such an asset for our lineup.

Pitching Woes
Unfortunately, things took a turn again in the 5th when the Orioles managed to extend their lead even further. The bullpen struggled to contain Baltimore's aggressive offense, and by the end of the inning, the score jumped to 7-1. Cowser's homerun and efficient base running consistently kept the pressure on our pitchers.Detroit fans were hoping for a comeback, but defensive plays from the Orioles and missed opportunities left us without the rally we needed. Despite some fresh legs and tactical changes, including some relief appearances by Vest, Brebbia, and Magno, the Tigers couldn't close the gap.
