TIGERS DEMOLISH ORIOLES, 14โ€“0, IN A HISTORIC BEATING

E. Valencia torched Baltimore with a 4-for-5, 2-HR, 4-RBI, 3-run performance โ€” Comerica Park went wild!

The Detroit Tigers absolutely destroyed the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night, 14โ€“0, in one of the most lopsided results of the 2026 MLB season. It was a complete beatdown โ€” the Orioles couldn't do anything right, while the Tigers couldn't do anything wrong.

The star of the night was E. Valencia, who was absolutely on fire. He went 4-for-5 at the plate, blasted 2 home runs, drove in 4 runs, and crossed the plate himself 3 times. That is an incredible stat line! The Tigers piled on early and often, and Baltimore's pitchers had no answer for Detroit's big bats all night long.

The shutout win is huge for the Tigers, who sit at 51โ€“57 in the AL Central โ€” they need every win they can get if they want to climb back into the playoff picture. Meanwhile, the Orioles drop to a rough 52โ€“56 and fall further behind the AL East leaders. What a rough night to be a Baltimore fan!

โšพ MLB โ€” Tuesday, July 28 Results
