Tigers Defeat Orioles in Playoff Battle

The Baltimore Orioles faced a critical game against the Detroit Tigers on Saturday, which they lost 6-4 in extra innings, thwarting their chance to clinch a postseason berth. The game was marked by missed opportunities, with the Orioles tying the score in the ninth but failing to capitalize with runners on base. Manager Brandon Hyde expressed frustration over the team's inability to deliver in clutch situations, a sentiment echoed by the performance of the bullpen and defense. The loss places additional pressure on the Orioles, as they must win two out of three against the Tigers to secure a playoff spot, depending on the outcomes of other games, particularly involving the Seattle Mariners. Meanwhile, the Tigers continue to surge in the playoff race, having won 10 of their last 13 games. The Orioles' postseason fate remains in limbo as they look to bounce back on Sunday.
