Tigers End Slide With 6-5 Comeback Win Over Orioles

BALTIMORE (AP) -- On the brink of ending a miserable road trip with yet another defeat, the Detroit Tigers finally caught a break.

J.D. Martinez and Miguel Cabrera homered on consecutive pitches in the eighth inning, and the Tigers rallied past the Orioles 6-5 Sunday to end Baltimore's seven-game winning streak.

The home runs came against Darren O'Day, who fanned the first two batters in the eighth with Baltimore up 5-4. O'Day (2-1) thought he struck out the side when Martinez checked his swing with two strikes, but first base umpire Mark Wegner ruled the batter did not go around.
