DETROIT (AP) --- Eduardo Valencia homered twice and drove in four runs, Gleyber
Torres had a home run and five RBIs, and the Detroit Tigers scored in every
inning they went to the plate in a 14-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles on
Tuesday night.
The Tigers became the 22nd team in major league history to score in every
inning they came to bat during a game and the second this month. The Kansas
City Royals did it in a 15-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on July 6.
Detroit also did it in an 11-5 home win against the Colorado Rockies on Aug. 2,
2014.
Troy Melton (6-1) allowed three hits and two walks in seven innings. He struck
out five. Melton is 3-1 with a 1.09 ERA in his last seven starts.
Orioles catcher Chadwick Tromp almost prevented history, getting two outs with
no one on in the eighth, but Zack McKinstry doubled and Valencia hit a 36 mph
pitch over the left-field fence for his second homer.
Kevin McGonigle reached base five times and scored three runs as the Tigers
snapped a three-game losing streak.
Baltimore's Taylor Ward went 0-3, snapping his on-base streak at 20 games.
Dean Kremer (1-4) gave up eight runs in four innings.
Colt Keith's two-run triple gave the Tigers a 2-0 lead in the first, and they
added three more runs in the second, including Valencia's first homer.
Valencia drove in Keith with a third-inning single to make it 6-0, and Torres
moved the margin to eight with a two-run homer in the fourth.
McGonigle's RBI single made it 9-0 in the fifth and Spencer Torkelson's
sacrifice fly gave the Tigers a double-digit lead in the sixth.
Torres drove in his fifth run with a groundout in the seventh and Ben Malgeri
added an RBI single.
Up next
The teams finish the three-game series on Wednesday with Tigers ace LHP Tarik
Skubal (7-5, 2.70 ERA) facing LHP Trevor Rogers (6-7, 4.17).
