Orioles tame Tigers with another eighth inning burst

(Reuters) - The Baltimore Orioles rallied for a 7-6 win as the Detroit Tigers suffered another eighth inning collapse on Friday, giving the Orioles a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-five American League division series.

After scoring eight runs in the eighth inning to key a 12-3 Game One win on Thursday, the Orioles followed the same script in a Game Two matinee at Baltimore's Camden Yards pushing across four runs in the eighth to once again stun the Tigers.

Trailing 6-3, Steve Pearce started the Orioles comeback with an RBI single before Delmon Young slammed bases-loaded double, scoring three more runs to leave the capacity crowd on its feet roaring in delight.

The series now shifts to the Motor City for Game Three on Sunday.
