Orioles 4 - Tigers 2:
What?s gotten into Rick Porcello? Wait, that?s a bad figure of speech these days ? Anyway, Porcello fanned 7 through 6 dominant innings. He?d never gone 7-K in back-to-back games before ? he had just 7 such games in 129 prior starts.
But whatever it was, Porcello lost it in the 7th, and a 2-0 lead with it. Chris Davis drilled his 20th leading off, then a single by Dickerson, a 3-and-0 count to Hardy and another single, and that was it for young Rick.

Phil Coke gave up the tying and go-ahead hits, the latter to Nate McLouth (4 for 22 off southpaws before); both were bleeders, but Coke?s been a disaster all year. The O?s tacked on in the 8th, and Cabrera?s leadoff hit in the 9th went nowhere, as Johnson converted again.

?O?s rookie Kevin Gausman was hammered in his first 2 starts, but he logged his first QS today, with no walks and 1 run through 6.
?Davis added his 19th double, now slugging .754. He?s on a pace (which he won?t reach) of 54 doubles and 56 HRs. If Davis does get close to 50-50, wouldn?t it be fun to see Albert Belle come out of the woodwork to cast a Brian Kingman-style hex? (Actually, I have no clue what Albert the First is doing these days.)
?The all-crap starting lineup so far (min. 150 PAs through Saturday, based on OPS+): C/Alex Avila, 52; 1B/Ike Davis, 39; 2B/Danny Espinosa, 28; SS/Ruben Tejada, 51; 3B/Mike Moustakas, 48; LF/Juan Pierre, 51; CF/B.J. Upton, 34; RF/Jeff Francoeur, 57; DH/Victor Martinez, 61.
