If their win four weeks ago in Texas -- when the Orioles went from looking like they were about to be shut down to hitting four home runs in an inning in the blink of an eye -- was peak Orioles, consider Thursday’s win against the Detroit Tigers the base-camp midway up the mountain.
They came to life after showing no signs that such a revival was possible in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Detroit Tigers, but did it without the benefit of much power.
Trailing 5-0, the Orioles had just three singles through five innings, then had three hits in the sixth inning and six in the seventh.
