Facing a defeat that would have cost them first place in the East Division, the Orioles rallied for three runs in the ninth inning to overcome the Tigers, 5-4. With Dan Meyer hitting a two-run triple, the Tigers led, 4-2, before the Orioles began a comeback that enabled them to remain one-half game ahead of the Yankees.
