Tigers Get Road Win, 4-1
Detroit and Baltimore duked it out at Memorial Stadium and the Tigers came out victorious.

The Detroit Tigers picked up a win at Memorial Stadium, knocking off the Baltimore Orioles, 4-1. Starting pitcher Kevin Gross, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason why. In 7 innings, Gross surrendered 2 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 1. He allowed 1 run.

It could have been a different outcome for Detroit, had it not been for Joe Orsulak, the 35-year old left fielder . Orsulak contributed a solo home run in the top of the fifth inning to put Detroit up, 2-1.

"We played a good game and came out on top," said Gross.

Baltimore now has a 5-game losing streak.
