Detroit — The crowd at Comerica Park was on its feet. With the Tigers down 4-1 in the bottom of the eighth inning, Miguel Cabrera strode to the plate with the bases loaded.
Against reliever Dillon Tate, he drove a fastball high into the night air toward the 420-foot mark in center field. Cedric Mullins tracked it and caught it at the wall. A collective groan went out from the crowd of 18,861 and a collective sigh from the visitors dugout.
That close.
The Orioles survived, holding on for a 4-3 win and snapping the Tigers' 10-game home winning streak.
