The Tigers broke their eight-game losing streak with a victory in the second game of their doubleheader against the Orioles last night.
Detroit nearly won the opener, but Kenley Janson gave up a massive three-run homer to Colton Cowser with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, and the Bengals lost 5-3. That spoiled a good start by Framber Valdez, who allowed a run on two hits over six innings. Matt Vierling had three hits for the Tigers.
Troy Melton sparkled in his first start of the season, as Detroit took the nightcap 4-1. Melton came off the injured list, and allowed a run on two hits before leaving in the sixth. Dillon Dingler homered.
The Tigers have today off, and host the Angels tomorrow. Keider Montero will start against Jack Kochanowicz. Coverage will begin at 6:15 on 99.3 The Lift.
