O's Can't Extend Winning Streak

The Orioles saw their winning streak snapped at three games as they fell to the Tigers 5-3.

Dennis Sarfate looked better than he had in his past three starts, but still took a loss as he couldn't make it through the fifth inning. Sarfate was charged with four runs off six hits...two of those hits were solo home runs, both coming in the bottom of the fourth. He walked three and struck out five...looks like he's headed back to the bullpen...for now.

The O's offense never got it going against Justin Verlander; both runs they scored off him were unearned...

Garrett Olson takes the mound this afternoon...the Birds need a Sunday victory to return home with a winning road trip...
