The Detroit Tigers began a four-game series with the Baltimore Orioles tonight and lost the first game with a final score of six to two. Detroit played typical 2019 Detroit baseball, giving up runs, getting a decent amount of hits, but failing to drive in their own runners.
The game started off poorly for Detroit, with Jordan Zimmermann giving up three hits and a run in the top of the first inning. Zimmermann seemed to get it together for a while, pitching three scoreless after that, but gave up three more in the fifth. These runs would be all Baltimore needed, and Zimmermann earned his 11th loss of the year.
