Detroit 7, Baltimore 6. [Boxscore]

Summary: Tigers win despite a bullpen train wreck to start the season 4-0.

(Note: Last time they did that was in 2012.)

Pitching: Porcello did an outstanding job, holding the Birds to 1 run on 3 hits (all singles) and 2 walks in a 94-pitch (60 strikes), 6.2 inning effort. He was credited with his first win of the season.

- Season line: 1st appearance.

Reed came on in relief with 2 outs in the 7th and continued through the 8th, keeping the O's off the board despite surrendering a single and triple. He struck out 1.

- Season line: 0-0, 0.00 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, 1/0 K/BB in 2.1 IP.

Coke started the 9th, and he did a horrible job. He was charged with 3 runs on 2 hits (single, triple) and a walk. Only 7 of his 14 pitches were for strikes.

Good thing the Cats have been stockpiling lefties down at Toledo; they're going to need them.

- Season line: 1st appearance.

Alburquerque was inserted into the game after Coke proved he didn't have the goods, and promptly gave up a bloop single that should have been caught by Gonzalez. He departed at that point, not having recorded an out.

Unfortunately, the guy that got on scored on a ground-rule double off Nathan, saddling him with an earned run.

- Season line: 1-0, 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, with 0/0 K/BB in 2.0 IP.

Nathan was summoned to stem the Birds' surge, and he was just as much a train wreck as Coke, surrendering a run on 2 hits (single and ground-rule double) while striking out 1. Despite his shoddy workmanship, he "earned" first 1st Save of the season.

I think it's safe to say that so far, he's a Todd Jones clone. Let's hope he improves.

- Season line: 1-0, 1/2 SV/OPP, 6.75 ERA, 1.88 WHIP, 1/2 K/BB in 2.2 IP.

Offense: The Boys roared in this one, fashioning a combined attack of power and speed to punish Orioles pitching. All together, they had 13 hits, 2 walks, and 2 SB as they stranded 7 on 3-14 hitting with RISP.

Here's the usual list:

Kinsler: 2-5 (.368), RS (3).
- Single and RS in the 3rd; Single in the 6th.

- 3-RBI Double in the 3rd; 2-run HR to LF in the 5th; BB in the 6th. [Video of Double] [Video of HR]

- Single in the 2nd; Single and SB in the 4th.

Avila: 0-4 (.083), GIDP.

(Note: Half of his 12 AB's have resulted in strikeouts, compared with 4 walks.)

Gonzalez: 1-3 (.364), BB (1), 2 RS (2).
- Single and RS in the 3rd; Walk and RS in the 6th.

The donkelly: 3-4 (.750), 3B (1), 2 RS (2), RBI (1).

- Single, SB, and RS in the 5th; RBI SF in the 6th; Single in the 8th.

Defense: Errors, 1: Gonzalez (2), throw in the 9th.

Double plays, 1: 6-4-3 (Gonzalez-Kinsler-Cabrera), 2nd inning.
