The Detroit Tigers snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles in the second game of a doubleheader at Camden Yards. Right-hander Troy Melton, making his season debut after recovering from elbow inflammation, delivered 5.2 strong innings, allowing just one run on two hits and three walks while striking out three. His return provided a much-needed boost to a struggling rotation.

Catcher Dillon Dingler sparked the offense with a two-run homer in the first inning, and Kevin McGonigle broke the game open with a two-out, bases-loaded single in the fifth. McGonigle also made a key leaping catch in the second inning to prevent further damage. The win came just hours after a demoralizing walk-off loss in the first game, where the Orioles hit a three-run homer off closer Kenley Jansen.

Reliever Tyler Holton struck out two right-handed batters in a critical seventh-inning pinch, setting up Drew Anderson to close. Anderson survived a shaky ninth—walking the first two batters—before striking out the side to secure his second save. Manager A.J. Hinch emphasized the importance of responding quickly after adversity, calling the win 'a really good feeling' before the team’s off day.
