Baltimore Form & Recent Results
Baltimore heads into this matchup in a rough stretch, having lost three straight games and four of their last five overall heading into Friday. The most recent setback came Wednesday on the road against Tampa Bay, where the Orioles fell 5–3. Even in the loss, first baseman Pete Alonso was one of the bright spots at the plate, finishing 2-for-4 with a home run, a run scored, and two RBIs. As a team, Baltimore didn’t exactly go quiet offensively either, as they collected nine hits, launched two homers, and piled up 15 total bases, but they still couldn’t come up with the timely plays needed to flip the result.
Throughout this season, shortstop Gunnar Henderson has been the main power threat, leading the team with 10 home runs, while Alonso isn’t far behind with nine. Alonso has also been their most productive run driver, pacing Baltimore with 28 RBIs so far. In terms of pure hitting consistency, left fielder Taylor Ward has the top batting average on the roster at .257. The bigger concern lately has been on the mound: over their last five games, the Orioles have surrendered an average of 8.2 runs per game, a sign their pitching has been struggling to keep opponents in check, which is something that has popped up more than once this year. Baltimore will try to stop the slide and finish on a better note when they take on the Tigers on Saturday.
Detroit Form & Recent Results
Detroit comes into this matchup in bad shape, having dropped six straight games heading into Friday. The latest setback was a 3–1 home loss to Cleveland on Thursday, where offense was once again hard to come by. Catcher Dillon Dingler was the clear bright spot, going 2-for-4 and providing nearly all the damage with a solo home run. He also crossed the plate once and drove in a run, giving the Tigers some life even as the team managed just six total hits and only that one long ball.

First baseman Spencer Torkelson isn’t far behind in the power department either, sitting second on the team with seven homers. Riley Greene has been their most consistent hitter for average, leading the Tigers with a .326 mark. On the pitching and defensive side, Detroit has allowed an average of 4.4 runs per game over their last five contests, and they’ll be hoping that number holds steady or improves, as they try to stop the skid on the road against the Orioles.
