00:00Game 2 of this three-game weekend series, the Orioles can clinch a playoff spot today
00:11with a win over the Tigers and a Seattle loss.
00:15Tigers drop the game behind the Minnesota Twins in the race for the third and final
00:20wild card spot yesterday.
00:23Hoping for a Boston win today, evening up the series today, they would pull back even.
00:28The Orioles led onto the field today by Cade Povich coming off one of the better starts
00:33of his young major league career.
00:35Numbers for Povich, 60 strikeouts and 69 innings, he punched out eight in just five innings
00:40against Detroit.
00:41There's the first non-fastball, a curveball loop to center, a late-breaking Cedric Mullins
00:45will get to it.
00:46Good to have Cedric back on the field as he secures the first out.
00:50One ball and two strikes against Winsel Perez.
00:54And there's a fastball right through Perez.
00:57Cade Povich burning up the Tiger rookie for his first K and his second out.
01:01Povich looking for the 1-2-3 frame, the 0-2, breaking ball, he got it.
01:06A strikeout off of a sweeper as Ibanez, Perez, and Bierling all go down with ease, nice work
01:13by Cade Povich.
01:14Reese Olsen making his 21st start of the year, just two and a third first start off the injured
01:20list.
01:213-2 pitch, hit in the air, almost the same spot as last night, Meadows and Winsel Perez
01:25converging in the alley.
01:26Who's going to call for it?
01:27Parker Meadows does.
01:28He makes the catch.
01:29So, with one out, it'll bring Cedric Mullins up to the plate.
01:34He is back in the lineup for the Orioles.
01:36The 0-1 pitch is lifted in the air, exact same spot again, long run, and Parker Meadows!
01:41He dives and he makes the catch, oh my, Parker Meadows!
01:47What a play.
01:48As soon as that ball was hit, he gets on his horse and tracks it down in the right centerfield
01:52gap.
01:54Ground ball, wide at first, Torkelson will eat it up, and that's a good beginning to
01:59the game for Reese Olsen.
02:01Trey Sweeney, another young Tiger who figures to be a big part of their future.
02:07Fly ball to right center, that's going to drop for a base hit.
02:09Riley Green is going to be waved to third, into second, Trey Sweeney putting together
02:14good at bat after good at bat against lefties, and Tigers have two in scoring position for
02:19Dylan Dingler.
02:20Two outs here with Tigers on second and third.
02:22So here's Dylan Dingler with an opportunity.
02:25Fly ball to right center, that's going to drop and score two!
02:28All the way to the wall!
02:30Dingler has got a full head of steam around second, heading to third, he's going to make
02:34it!
02:35Two out, two run, triple for Dylan Dingler to give the Tigers a 2-0 lead.
02:39It'll be Meadows to hit left on left against Kovic.
02:43Meadows the looper, here comes Cedric, he takes it away from Meadows!
02:48Anything you can do!
02:49Parker and Cedric playing tip your cap in the first two innings.
02:53What a one for Kauser against Reese Olsen.
02:56And Colton smacks one the other way.
02:58They get a six game hit streak for the Oriole rookie.
03:02Boy you love that stroke.
03:04Fielder's choice walk and hit by pitch.
03:06Base is loaded, one out, 2-0 Tigers and Emmanuel Rivera.
03:10In the right field, muscled out toward Perez, Rutschman tags, Rutschman's on the way home
03:17and Perez won't take a shot into the center of the diamond.
03:20And the O's get one back, it's 2-1.
03:22There's Jackson Holliday, hit in the air, left field, Riley Green, perfectly positioned,
03:28jogs near the line, makes the catch, and Olsen, despite having four men reach base, gets out
03:34of it with only one run of damage.
03:36Gunner to lead it off for the Orioles.
03:38Good change up.
03:40He had to get that ball up a little bit and he's been bouncing a lot of them.
03:43I know that's where he usually misses but that was a good one.
03:45Here's the 3-2, got him.
03:47A swinging strike three, another beautiful change up.
03:49Back-to-back strikeouts from Olsen.

04:00Two down, Malloy down at first base after a leadoff walk.
04:03And here's Dillon Dingler hitting just .123 coming into this game.
04:08There's a line drive to left.
04:09Couser is right there.
04:11And Colton Couser says, I got you covered.

04:16Three consecutive outs.
04:17Tigers retired in the fourth.
04:19Grant Herter coming out of the bullpen for the Detroit Tigers.
04:22Oh, two for Adley here.
04:24Pitch looped into left-center field.
04:26Is this going to get down?
04:27Yes, it will.
04:28And Rutschman's on with a blue phase hit.
04:31Two Orioles on, first and second.
04:33Double play is in order as Herter deals to Kerstad.
04:36He swings, lines another one.
04:37This might tie the ball game.
04:39Rutschman heading to third.
04:40They're going to wave him around.
04:41Riley Green fires to the plate.
04:43The throw is on line.
04:44The tag and they've got him.
04:46One-half strike from Riley Green.
04:49I mean, he just hosed him.
04:51Fills it out in front of his body.
04:52Step, step, crow hop throw.
04:54And just absolutely nails him at the plate.
04:58Wow.
04:59That's his finest throw as we've seen.
05:00And now two outs.
05:02I wouldn't tell Riley that, though.
05:04Popped him up.
05:06Abanez makes the catch.
05:08Parker Meadows in the Abanez and Perez against Cade Pulvich.
05:14Parker Meadows drives this one down the line and foul and left.
05:18Colton goes up into the net and Colton sees a baby.
05:22Make sure the kid stays asleep.
05:25Even with Colton Couser crashing down, he stayed asleep.
05:29How does this dad do this?
05:32And what are his secrets and can we learn them?
05:36So, night-night.
05:38Parker Meadows, he's out like a light.
05:41Foul tip strike three.
05:43Fifth punch out for Pulvich.
05:4580 pitches in for Cade.
05:46And Abanez goes down swinging.
05:49Strikeout number six.
05:51There's strike three.
05:53It came a couple of pitches later, and Cade Kays the side.
05:57Now here's Santander hitting right side, swings first ball,
06:01and it's went high up into the air.
06:03Shallow right.
06:04Abanez makes a two-handed catch fairly close to the right field line.
06:09Ending the inning.
06:10Runners at first and second with just one down.
06:12Tigers making some noise.
06:14Right-hand hitting Spencer Torkelson at the plate.
06:16Torkelson, slow ground ball.
06:18Can they get two?
06:19One for sure.
06:20And two.
06:22What a turn.
06:23Here's Heston Kerstad.
06:25Rookie has reached in both plate appearances today.
06:27Was hit by a pitch in the second inning.
06:29Base hit to left field his last time up.
06:31Kerstad again to left field.
06:33Another opposite field knockoff of Grant Herter for Heston Kerstad.
06:39And the Orioles have two on.
06:41Well, that kind of stroke will play all day long.
06:43So, Will Vest, the right-hander on to face Emmanuel Rivera.
06:47Two on, two down.
06:48Two-one Detroit.
06:49Rivera through the box.
06:50A base hit.
06:51And they're not going to get Adderley this time.
06:53Kerstad to third as well.
06:55Emmanuel Rivera.
06:57This guy has come out of nowhere to help save the season.
07:01It's 2-2.
07:02Go ahead runs on third base for the Orioles.
07:043-1.
07:05Swing and a ground ball left side.
07:06Sweeney charges glove, stumbles a bit, flips to Ibanez covering second.
07:10And the Tigers get out of it with no further damage.
07:13Go ahead run at third base.
07:15One down, first and third.
07:16One out.
07:17Andy Ibanez.
07:18Like that.
07:20A beautiful changeup and a major strikeout for Aitken.
07:24Well, that's pitching right there.
07:26Now he is trying to preserve a 2-2 tie in the seventh
07:29against the switch hitter Wenzel Perez.
07:33He'll chase this one into right.
07:34Santander is there.
07:36And Keegan Aitken breaks through and keeps this game scoreless in the seventh.
07:42And now with two on and nobody out in the eighth inning,
07:45Jake Rogers will pinch hit.
07:47The infield double play depth.
07:49Shot up the middle and under the glove of Holiday in the center field.
07:54Tigers take the lead, throw to third.
07:56Save.
07:58Rogers ends up on second.
08:00A shot up the middle that Holiday missed.
08:03And the Tigers have a 3-2 lead.
08:05Riley pulls the old swim move, figures out a way to get in there.
08:08That was unbelievable.
08:09So here we go, second and third.
08:11There is nobody out here in the eighth inning.
08:14Fly ball, left center.
08:16We'll get the run home.
08:17Mullins makes the catch.
08:19Green will score.
08:20Tigers lead by two in the eighth.
08:22Paul Keith does the job.
08:23Foley looking for save number 26.
08:27And he's got the bottom of the Orioles' lineup, 7-8-9, due up.
08:30Heston's been on all three times, trying to be that base runner.
08:34And he will.
08:35Base hit right field.
08:37Heston cursed at a board.
08:38He'll bring up the tying run to lead off the home ninth.
08:41Sends Emmanuel Rivera up to the plate.
08:44Rivera right side.
08:45How about this guy?
08:47Emmanuel Rivera coming through again and again and again.
08:53A walk loads the bases.
08:55The tying run is at second.
08:57The winning run is at third.
08:58The most valuable Oriole 2024 is at the plate.
09:02All-night drive.
09:03Base hits.
09:05The Orioles tie the game.
09:07And Holiday gets to third.
09:09The most valuable Oriole shows why he's that award winner,
09:14shows why he's one of the most valuable players in baseball.
09:18And he sends this ballpark into a frenzy.
09:22Jason Foley had converted ten saves in a row.
09:25He does not get an out.
09:27And now the O's with second and third.
09:29And Bo Briskey is in, partner.
09:30Cedric Mullins one for four.
09:32Winning run 90 feet away for Baltimore.
09:34Ground ball chopped to second.
09:36McKinstry takes care of Mullins.
09:40One out in the ninth inning.
09:42So now you get Anthony Santander to the plate.
09:45Now his walk-off came two days ago.
09:47Yeah, I was going to say, he walked it off Thursday afternoon.
09:50A little swing and a soft little pop-up.
09:53And that's trouble.
09:55Caught by Sweeney.
09:58What a play.
09:59Wow.
10:01It looked like that ball was going to drop.
10:04And Sweeney said no.
10:06The collision with Green.
10:08And then he still has a wherewithal to get the ball in.
10:12You want to talk about taking the juice out of a stadium.
10:15Four-four, second and third.
10:17The infield will retreat to normal depth.
10:19And the batter is Colton Couser.
10:21He spins it and out, and we're headed to extras.
10:23Swing and a fly ball into center field.
10:26Parker Meadows over, and he will make the catch.
10:30What a inning from Bo Briskey.
10:32Gets the Tigers out of it.
10:33Game is tied.
10:34Four-four.
10:35We're on to the tenth.
10:36Yenya Cano, who comes on to face the middle of the Tiger order in the tenth.
10:40And the first pitch to Riley Green.
10:42Ground ball.
10:43Pass to diving Santander in the right field.
10:45That's a knot.
10:46They're going to send it around Veerling.
10:47The throw to the plate.
10:48Up the line.
10:49And the Tigers back on top five.
10:51Four on the first pitch of the tenth inning.
10:53Riley Green, his third hit of the night.
10:55Tigers up a run.
10:57They've got runners on second and third, and nobody out here in the tenth.
11:00Fly ball, right field.
11:01That should get the run home.
11:03Green tagging the throw.
11:04They won't even bother.
11:05Tigers add a run and lead by two again in the tenth.
11:09Dingler can keep the inning alive.
11:11Cano trying to end it right here.
11:12Here comes the two-two pitch.
11:14Drops down and strikes him out.
11:16The Tigers break the tie with two in the top half of the tenth inning.
11:19Detroit on top six to four.
11:21Two down.
11:22Daniel Johnson at the plate.
11:24His first at-bat in the major leagues since 2021.
11:28Ground ball to second.
11:30McKintry to Ibanez.
11:32Tigers win.
11:34Andy, this is one of the best wins we've seen of all the wins we've seen.
11:38Tigers have closed within a half game of the Twins,
11:41within one game of the Kansas City Royals,
11:44with one incredible finish in Baltimore.
