BALTIMORE (AP) — Jeremy Guthrie allowed two hits over eight shutout innings, Nick Markakis homered and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Detroit Tigers 2-1 Friday night for a doubleheader sweep.
In the opener, Chris Tillman pitched seven innings of three-hit ball and Adam Jones drove in four runs to lead the Orioles to a 10-6 victory.
It was the second time in three days that Detroit was swept in a doubleheader; Cleveland did it Wednesday. The Tigers (80-80) have lost five straight and must win at least once this weekend to avoid a losing season.
