Orioles recap: Bourn, Schoop help lift Birds to 3-1 victory vs. Tigers, series win

Home runs from sources expected and unexpected helped the Orioles to a big September series win Sunday, with new reserve outfielder Michael Bourn and second baseman Jonathan Schoop providing all the required scoring in a 3-1 win over the Detroit Tigers before an announced 33,069 at Comerica Park. Bourn, who had just three home runs this season before an Aug. 31 trade brought him to the Orioles from the Arizona Diamondbacks, gave the Orioles a 2-0 lead in the third inning with his second home run in as many starts since the trade.
