Live blog: Long ball powers Tigers to win over Orioles

FINAL: TIGERS 6, ORIOLES 5

The Tigers got home runs from J.D. Martinez and Victor Martinez on their way to a 6-5 win over the Orioles at Comerica Park on Thursday afternoon.

Alex Avila had two doubles and an RBI and did a nice job of settling starter Jordan Zimmermann down after a shaky start to the game.

Zimmermann gave up three runs in the first two frames but was really able to turn in a nice performance. The fourth run he gave up came when Adam Jones homered to left field in the fifth inning, but it was a ball that only made it out because of the extremely windy conditions at the ballpark today.
