Tigers 7, Orioles 3
BALTIMORE — Alex Avila homered and had a career-high five RBIs to back an effective performance by Justin Verlander, and the Tigers ended the Orioles' unbeaten run. Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez also connected for Detroit, which became the first team this season to score more than one run against Baltimore. The Orioles were trying to match the franchise-record 5-0 start of the 1970 World Series champions.
