Detroit — After two tough losses to the team with the third lowest winning percentage in baseball, stranding the tying and go-ahead runs on the bases in the last two innings of both games, a win wasn’t mandatory for the Tigers, but it was — let’s call it soothing.
With the bullpen putting up five straight zeros, the Tigers earned a split of the four-game series with the Orioles Sunday with a workmanlike 6-2 win before a sun-splashed crowd of 17,134 at Comerica Park.
Erasmo Ramirez, Jose Cisnero, Michael Fulmer and Gregory Soto allowed just one base runner from the fifth through the ninth.
