The Baltimore Orioles triumphed over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday, securing their first home series win of the 2018 season. The O’s improved to 8-20, 12.5 games out of first place in the AL East.
This has been one of the worst Aprils in franchise history, but ignore the paltry win total for a second — the Orioles offense was rock-solid over the weekend, scoring between five and six runs in all three games. Sunday’s contest was no exception, as the Birds led for all nine innings and finished with a 5-3 win.
With one hit and two walks, Manny Machado was steady, but he didn’t score or drive in any runs.
