Povich (2-9) took the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over five innings against the Tigers. He struck out eight.
Povich allowed a third-inning homer by Riley Greene that represented the only two runs allowed by the Orioles' righty. Otherwise, Povich pitched well, rebounding from allowing four runs in 4.2 during his last start by fanning eight while allowing only four baserunners prior to being pulled after five having thrown 89 pitches. It's the fifth time through 14 starts that Povich has allowed two or fewer runs while tossing at least five innings. He's slated to get another shot against the Tigers in his next start, this time within the friendly confines of Camden Yards.
