The Detroit Tigers continued to slip with a brutal 5-3 walk-off loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. The game was the first of a Sunday doubleheader in Baltimore.
In the bottom of the ninth, with Detroit holding a 3-2 lead, closer Kenley Jansen had a chance to get a major save. With two on in scoring position and two outs, Jansen was facing Colton Cowser at the plate, working ahead to an 0-2 count. On the third pitch, a 95 mph sinker in the heart of the plate, Cowser sent it deep into center field to get a three-run homer and win the game, 5-3.

That ending was tough enough for veteran Detroit announcer Dan Dickerson to express disbelief: “You’ve gotta be kidding me,” he said as the ball went into the stands.
It was the eighth straight loss for the Tigers before they took the second game of the doubleheader, 4-1, for only their fifth victory in May. Before avoiding a third straight series sweep, Detroit had lost 16 of its past 18. Detroit has been swept three times in May, including by the New York Mets earlier this month and division rival Cleveland Guardians last week.

Detroit next will host the Los Angeles Angels, who sit at the bottom of the AL West. That battle of the basement will hopefully give the Tigers a chance to turn things around — or else slide even further.
