Chris Davis homers twice in extra innings to help the Orioles outlast the Tigers, 13 – 11. His blast in the 12th inning sets up a three-run outburst, but Detroit replies with three runs of its own to keep the game going. In the 13th, Davis tees off against Francisco Rodriguez with a runner on third base, and those two runs prove to be the margin of victory. The Orioles squander an early 7 – 1 lead and need a homer by Mark Trumbo with two outs in the 9th to stay alive. For Detroit, J.D. Martinez homers twice, including a grand slam, and they have the winning run on third base in both the 11th and 12th innings, but both times, Tyler Collins, mired in an 0-for-30 slump, makes the final out without cashing in the runner. Richard Bleier earns his first career win in the slugfest.
