The Tigers fell to 51-58 despite taking a 7-0 lead on the strength of a three-run third, two-run fifth and two-run sixth.

Baltimore starter Trevor Rogers labored through six innings, allowing eight hits and four earned runs with six strikeouts. He left trailing 7-0 after Detroit’s two-run sixth, which featured a run-scoring double by Zach McKinstry and a throwing error by shortstop Gunnar Henderson that allowed a second run to score.

Coby Mayo walked, and Leody Taveras singled to center to score Henderson and put runners at first and second. Jeremiah Jackson walked to load the bases, and Jackson Holliday singled to right, scoring Mayo and Taveras to cut the deficit to 7-3. Taylor Ward followed with a two-run single to right that scored Jackson and Holliday, making it 7-5.

Baltimore tied the game in the eighth. Henderson walked, Dylan Beavers reached on a fielder’s choice, and Christian Encarnacion-Strand grounded out to advance both runners. Mayo then tripled to left-center, scoring Henderson and Beavers to knot the score at 7. Tyler Wells pitched two scoreless innings of relief for the Orioles, striking out none but allowing no hits. Rico Garcia gave up one earned run in two-thirds of an inning.

The game remained 7-7 through the ninth and tenth innings. In the 11th, Baltimore took its first lead. Mayo walked, and after a sacrifice bunt and a sacrifice fly by Yohel Pozo scored Encarnacion-Strand, Holliday singled to left to bring home Mayo, giving the Orioles a 9-7 advantage.

Detroit answered in the bottom of the 11th. Spencer Torkelson hit a two-run homer to left, his 20th of the season, scoring Eduardo Valencia and tying the game at 9. The Tigers had a chance to win in the same inning when James Outman was hit by a pitch, but Kevin McGonigle flied out to end the threat.
