Today at 3:30 p.m. ET, the Baltimore Orioles and Detroit Tigers continue their best-of-five American League Division Series with Game 3 action live from Comerica Park in Detroit. The game can be live streamed for free here. Baltimore fans can hear all of the action on WBAL 1090 while Detroit fans can do the same on 97.1 The Ticket.
Baltimore will look to complete the sweep as the series shifts to Michigan while Detroit will try to use a return home to get themselves out of the 0-2 hole and into the series.
Miguel Gonzalez (10-9, 3.23 ERA) takes the ball for Baltimore while the Detroit counters with David Price, who went 15-12 with a 3.26 ERA this season and is 11-11 with a 3.71 ERA since being traded from the Tampa Bay Rays at the deadline.
Delmon Young was the hero in capping the Orioles come back in Game 2 Friday as his pinch-hit bases-clearing triple erased Baltimore's deficit and put it in the lead for good. Young is 10-for-20 as a pinch-hitter this season.
Now, the Orioles will look to keep their foot on the gas pedal with a chance to clinch the team's first trip to the ALCS since 1997.
"We've got to stay focused and take care of business," Baltimore shortstop J.J. Hardy said via MLB.com. "Just because we're up two games doesn't mean the series is over. So we've got to stay focused."
The Tigers realize they are in a big hole as only five of 44 teams have climbed out of an 0-2 hole since the division series format began in 1995.
"We're against the wall, no secret," Tigers designated-hitter Victor Martinez told MLB.com. "A lot of things happen in this game -- a lot of crazy things happen in this game. We just have to make sure that we keep playing hard. Hopefully we turn it around to our side."
The Orioles have beat up on the Tigers bullpen thus far this series and Detroit will look for Price to get deep into the game, despite the fact that he owns a 5.06 ERA in the playoffs.
The Orioles look to complete the sweep while the Tigers hope that a return home is just what they need to get back in the series when these teams take the field at Comerica Park in Detroit for ALDS Game 3 this afternoon.
