MLB Gameday: Orioles 0, Tigers 14 Final Score (07/28/2026)

The Detroit Tigers snapped their three-game losing streak in dominant fashion on Tuesday night, shutting out the Baltimore Orioles in a 14-0 victory. The win comes at a critical time for the organization as trade rumors circulate and the front office evaluates the roster before the upcoming deadline.

Eduardo Valencia led the offensive charge for Detroit, finishing the night 4-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI. The team displayed relentless hitting throughout the contest, recording 19 total hits. This performance marks the first time the club has achieved this type of scoring and shutout combination since 1935.

Troy Melton anchored the win on the mound, delivering seven scoreless innings while striking out five Baltimore hitters. Melton limited the Orioles to just three hits, maintaining control from the first frame until his departure. The Tigers also saw a strong contribution from Kevin McGonigle, who matched Valencia with four hits of his own and contributed four runs.

For Baltimore, the evening resulted in a difficult loss. Dean Kremer struggled against the Detroit lineup, allowing eight earned runs and exiting early. The Orioles now look to regroup as they manage player health, including updates on Ryan Mountcastle, and prepare for the remainder of the series. The Tigers, meanwhile, are adjusting their roster following the activation of Javier Báez from the injured list.
