Baltimore Orioles vs Detroit Tigers Live Streaming
1:05 pm EDT Mon Jul 5, 2010
Detroit Tigers rookie Andy Oliver didn’t have much success on the road while trying to earn his first major league win, but he might have better luck in his home debut Monday against the majors’ worst team. As he searches for that milestone victory, Oliver will try to help the Tigers continue their recent success at Comerica Park in the opener of a three-game series with the Baltimore Orioles. In his debut June 25 against Atlanta, Oliver allowed two runs and five hits over six innings in a 3-1 defeat. He was then hurt by three unearned runs during Wednesday’s 5-1 loss to Minnesota. Oliver gave up five runs overall and eight hits over six innings while striking out six.
The left-hander will try to stay ahead this time in his first home game and help the Tigers to their 13th win in 15 games there. Detroit opened a nine-game homestand by winning its fifth straight series at Comerica. The Tigers, though, were denied a sweep of Seattle with Sunday’s 8-1 loss after going 1 for 15 with runners in scoring position. They could have better success against the Orioles, who are a major league-worst 9-31 on the road. Baltimore is also winless in 16 straight road series dating back to September and opened a 10-game trip by losing two of three to a short-handed Boston team. The Orioles avoided the sweep Sunday by limiting the Red Sox to three hits in a 6-1 win. Kevin Millwood will try to help his team to back-to-back road victories for only the second time this season. While he’s won consecutive decisions after losing his first eight, the veteran right-hander has mainly been helped by the 15 runs the Orioles have provided in his last three starts.
