Entering Sunday's series finale with Detroit, the Orioles bench had struggled throughout the year in contributing late in games, hitting just 1-for-18 in pinch-hit situations.

The Orioles (32-25) captured two of the three games in the home series against the Tigers (30-25), winning both after trailing early.

Against baseball's best-hitting team, Kevin Gausman turned in the best start of his young major league career Sunday in his home debut.

The Orioles have done a good job of not allowing tough losses linger, and they¿ll have to do that again this afternoon for their series finale against the Tigers as Camden Yards.
