Orioles turn in a lackluster effort against Detroit in a 6-2 loss

In what could be the last game in an Orioles uniform for several players (but being honest, probably not “several”), the team turned in an unmemorable effort all around. O’s pitchers seemed to have a soft spot for 38-year-old Miguel Cabrera’s Hall of Fame chances, because they allowed him to pad his stats with his 2937^th, 2938^th and 2939^th career hits, including his 497^th and 498^th career home runs. The grizzled Cabrera looked so good tonight that MASN’s Kevin Brown joked, “We’ve gone back a decade.” Not good, is it, when O’s pitching is the proverbial Fountain of Youth?
