As many baseball fans know, the Detroit Tigers do not have the best bullpen in the world. The Orioles exposed this fact during their four game series this past weekend.
Game One: Orioles: 7, Tigers: 5
The first game of this series started off fairly rocky for the Orioles. Ubaldo Jimenez was sent to the hill and did not have his best stuff coming out of the gate. Jimenez on the night went five innings allowing five runs on nine hits while striking out only two and walked four batters.
The Orioles were able to score two in the bottom of the sixth to make it 5-2 at the time, which is an accomplishment in itself due to how effectively the Tigers’ starter Mike Pelfrey was against the O’s hitters.
