Game Preview

The Baltimore Orioles, aiming for an American League East title, find themselves entangled in a critical playoff qualification battle with the Detroit Tigers, who have surged into contention. The teams commence a pivotal three-game set in Baltimore on Friday night.

Baltimore (85-68), currently the top wild-card holder, stands four games behind the Yankees for the East lead, adding weight to their upcoming series. A thrilling two-run walk-off homer by Anthony Santander against San Francisco sparked some much-needed momentum for the Orioles.

"This win is a good step into the crucial series ahead," said Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday.

Detroit (80-73), on a high after a three-game sweep in Kansas City, ties with the Twins for the last wild-card spot. Fresh from taking two of three from Baltimore last weekend, Detroit is pushing hard in the playoff race.

"We’re focused and taking it day by day," said Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal. "We need to maintain our winning streak and control our own fate."

Baltimore has struggled recently, with only three wins in their last 11 games, yet Thursday’s victory injected some needed spirit.

"We needed that win to carry momentum into next week," said Santander.

For Friday’s game, both teams are deploying pitchers who shone in their last encounters. Baltimore’s Corbin Burnes (14-8, 3.06 ERA) delivered seven shutout innings against Detroit last Saturday. Meanwhile, Detroit’s Keider Montero (6-6, 4.60), aims to extend his 14-inning scoreless streak from his previous outings.

As the Tigers boast a 6-1 record in their recent road games, they look to continue their strong performance away from home in the upcoming crucial series.
