BALTIMORE -- The Orioles entered Thursday night's game against the Tigers with an American League-best 49 home runs, including 13 during a high-scoring four-game winning streak.
Yet when Baltimore rallied from a five-run deficit for a 7-5 win at Camden Yards, it did so without the benefit of a long ball. Instead, Baltimore's decisive five-run seventh inning against the Detroit bullpen featured five singles and Jonathan Schoop's tiebreaking two-run triple, the first three-bagger of his career.
O's first baseman Chris Davis, who smacked an RBI double in the team's two-run sixth and an RBI single in the seventh, was asked if the offense is labeled unfairly as an all-or-nothing, homer-dependent bunch.
