They didn’t always look like a well-oiled machine, but the Baltimore Orioles still managed to take two out of three games from the Detroit Tigers over the weekend. With their 5-3 victory on Sunday, the Birds clinched their first home series of the year, a nice consolation to cap off a rough April.
The offense was consistently solid, scoring either five or six runs in all three games. As has been the case for most of the season, Manny Machado and Trey Mancini did a lot of heavy lifting, and they got a big assist from Pedro Alvarez, who appears to have found his power stroke after a slow start to the season.
