The Orioles opened the scoring in the first inning with a run but struggled to maintain momentum against the Tigers' defense. Despite their efforts, including two more runs scored in later innings, it wasn't enough to counteract the Tigers' powerful offense. The fifth and seventh innings were particularly pivotal for Detroit as they capitalized on every opportunity, scoring five runs in each of these innings.


Key players for the Orioles included Kyle Stowers who boasted an impressive .500 batting average with an OPS of 1.167 and contributed one RBI from just two at-bats. Terrin Vavra also shone brightly with a .500 average and an OPS of 2.167 while Ryan O'Hearn achieved perfection at bat with a .1000 batting average, contributing significantly to his team's efforts.


Despite these individual performances, it was not enough to overcome Detroit's offensive onslaught led by their relentless hitting which culminated in three home runs contributing significantly to their total of ten earned runs against both starters and bullpen pitchers from Baltimore.


Looking ahead, fans of the Orioles can catch their next game against Pittsburgh Pirates scheduled for March 3rd at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, Florida. This upcoming match is set for a 6:05 PM start time where supporters will have another opportunity to see if Baltimore can bounce back from this defeat. Fans are encouraged not miss out on what promises to be another exciting matchup available for viewing through local broadcasts or attending live if possible.
