Jackson Holliday's homer lifts Orioles to 7-4 win over Tigers
Jackson Holliday hit a two‑run opposite‑field home run in the fourth inning, giving the Baltimore Orioles a 6‑4 lead that proved decisive in a 7‑4 victory over the Detroit Tigers. The homer, a 337‑foot shot that struck the foul‑pole base, came during the first game of a three‑game series on a rainy night at Oriole Park.
Pete Alonso also contributed a three‑run blast and four RBIs, while Gunnar Henderson recorded three hits. Baltimore used Keegan Akin as an opener and Anthony Núñez closed with his third save. Detroit’s Jack Flaherty was charged with six runs in 3 1⁄3 innings, extending the Tigers’ losing streak to seven games.
