Justin Upton homered and drove in two runs, and Detroit shook off two rain delays and a triple play in a 7-5 triumph over the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday night.
Ian Kinsler hit his 45th vocation leadoff grand slam for the Tigers, who constructed a 7-0 lead in the third inning and finished Baltimore's five-diversion winning streak.
In the wake of persisting about five hours of rain defers Wednesday in a 2-0 win at Yankee Stadium, Detroit kept running into more troublesome climate at Camden Yards. The amusement started 43 minutes late, and just four players went to the plate before another shower delivered a stoppage of 59 minutes.
The last pitch came after 12 pm, pretty much five hours past the booked beginning time.
In any case, the last outcome made it all justified, despite all the trouble for the Tigers.
"We've had some entirely long days at the ballpark last couple days, however we've been playing truly great baseball," Kinsler said.
Baltimore's second triple play of the season happened in the second inning. With sprinters on first and second, Tigers catcher James McCann hit a grounder to third baseman Manny Machado, who ventured on third and whipped a toss to second baseman Jonathan Schoop. The hand-off to Chris Davis beat McCann to finish the around-the-horn triple play.
