3 encouraging signs from the Detroit Tigers’ sweep of the Orioles

The Detroit Tigers swept the Baltimore Orioles this weekend, where they started to play much better baseball. It was their first series sweep of the season.

The Tigers have needed a stretch where they looked like a competent baseball team, no matter the length. While there are still plenty of things this team needs to work on, this weekend sweep of Baltimore was nice to see.

They gave up just three runs the whole series, which included 7.2 scoreless innings from the bullpen on Saturday after Michael Pineda left the game after being struck in his right middle finger by a line drive.

The offense had some welcome sights as well. It was nice to see the team start to drive the ball a bit more.

So without further ado, here are three encouraging signs from the Detroit Tigers’ three-game sweep of the Orioles.
