They had to wait an extra 18 hours or so, but the Detroit Tigers took the series-opening game for an eighth straight time.
The Tigers rode an early lead and a solid start from Casey Mize to a 4-3 win in the series opener against the Baltimore Orioles, in Game 1 of a split doubleheader after Friday's rainout. It is the eighth straight series in which the Tigers (16-10) have won the first game, dating back to the season's second series against the Seattle Mariners.
The Tigers prolonged their at-bats against Baltimore starter Brandon Young to build an early two-run lead and picked up insurance runs on an RBI single from Jace Jung and a solo home run from Spencer Torkelson.
