The Baltimore Orioles defeated the Detroit Tigers 5–3 on May 24 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, with the home team's power proving decisive despite offensive inefficiency across the board. Baltimore managed just five hits but capitalized with two home runs and five RBIs, posting a .708 OPS while striking out six times. Detroit outhit the Orioles 7–5 but managed no homers and only three RBIs, finishing with a .685 OPS in the loss. The Tigers' pitching staff allowed five earned runs on five hits with a 3.99 ERA, while Baltimore's bullpen surrendered just one earned run across seven hits with a 4.87 ERA and six strikeouts. Both offenses struggled at the plate—Baltimore batting .235 and Detroit .234—but the Orioles' ability to drive in runs with limited opportunities and avoid costly mistakes proved the difference. The Tigers' inability to generate power or timely hitting left them stranded despite out-hitting their opponent, a trend that could haunt their run differential as the season progresses.
