Can the Orioles play the Tigers every week? They beat them again on Sunday afternoon, a 5-3 decision that never really felt in doubt despite the close scoreline.
Tigers starter Spencer Turnbulll hardly stood a chance. The Orioles offense had him under pressure from the jump. The only inning in which the O’s didn’t score on the righty was the first, when they had a runner in scoring position with one out but couldn’t get him all the way home.
That wasn’t a problem in the second. Austin Hays opened up with a walk, moved to second on an error from second baseman Zach McKinstry, and eventually came around to score when Ryan O’Hearn singled up the middle.
