Marnez erased the deficit with one swing of the bat, launching a three-run homer in the 3rd inning off Dylan Bundy. The Orioles briefly took a one-run lead on a solo homer by Adam Jones in the 5th inning. But the Tigers answered back again with three runs in the bo om half of the 5th, including a two-run homer by Victor Marnez and an RBI double by Alex Avila. Shane Greene threw 1.2 perfect innings in relief and Alex Wilson filled in for his second save of the season. ELIAS SAYS: On Thursday a!ernoon, J.D. Marnez and Victor Marnez both homered off Dylan Bundy in the Tigers 6 5 victory over the Orioles. It was the 16th me that the Marnez s homered in the same game for Detroit.
