Gunnar Henderson tripled just past the glove of diving first baseman Spencer Torkelson with two outs in the ninth inning for Baltimore's first hit, and the Detroit Tigers held on for a 1-0 win over the Orioles on Friday night.
Beau Brieske and Brant Hurter (5-1) combined to retire Baltimore's first 21 batters before Adley Rutschman's eight-pitch walk leading off the eighth.
"That was an incredibly well-pitched game by all four of our guys tonight," Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. "There's the letdown of the near-miss, but that's still a shutout of a really good offense."
Brenan Hanifee followed Hurter and retired the next three batters.
Tyler Holton relieved to start the ninth. Emmanuel Rivera flied out and pinch-hitter Coby Mayo took a called third strike.
