Tigers 14, Orioles 0: Valencia Homers Twice, Score in Every Inning

Fourteen runs, eight innings of scoring, zero answers

July 28, 2026 – Detroit – Eduardo Valencia took his first swing after a Triple-A recall and sent Dean Kremer’s sinker 416 feet to left.

By the eighth, he’d gone deep twice, finished 4-for-5 with four RBIs, and helped the Detroit Tigers do something rare: score in every inning they batted. Troy Melton (6-1) threw seven shutout innings. And Detroit blanked the Baltimore Orioles 14-0, per the Associated Press.

Colt Keith’s two-run triple opened the first. Gleyber Torres piled five RBIs with a double and a homer. Kevin McGonigle reached five times. Melton allowed three hits, walked two, struck out five, and never let a runner past first. Ty Madden finished the shutout.

Detroit filled every column

AthX Engine put the Tigers at 31 team fantasy points, first on Tuesday by a wide margin. Valencia led every hitter at 16 FP. Melton tied Sandy Alcantara atop the pitching board at 25 FP. Torres and McGonigle still cleared 10 hitting FP on the same card.
