The Baltimore Orioles defeated the Detroit Tigers 12-3 on Thursday night in Game 1 of their ALDS.

Baltimore compiled 12 hits, including an eight-run eighth inning.

"I just left too many pitches up," Max Scherzer said. "This is a great-hitting ballclub. You give them a chance to extend their arms, they can really hit it."

The 12 runs set a postseason record for Baltimore, making its second playoff appearance since 1997.
