Orioles lose 6-5, O'Day allows two home runs in the eighth to blow lead after check swing no-call

Darren O'Day had J.D. Martinez struck out, but the first base umpire disagreed. Then the Orioles lost.

The roles were reversed in Baltimore on Sunday as the Tigers used three home runs and a lock-down bullpen performance to beat the Orioles 6-5. The loss for the Birds ends their winning streak at seven. For the Tigers, it brings an end to a four-game skid.

The Goose got hit

From the very beginning, it was clear that Kevin Gausman did not bring his best stuff to the mound. The Orioles starter routinely pitches with a fastball in the mid-to-upper-90s.
