The Detroit Tigers took a perfect game into the eighth inning and fell one out short of a combined no-hitter in a 1-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night.

Gunnar Henderson hit a two-out triple in the ninth inning for the Orioles’ first hit, but Tigers left-hander Tyler Holton struck out Anthony Santander to close out the win.

Before Holton pitched the ninth, Beau Brieske and Brant Hurter teamed to take a perfect game into the eighth inning, retiring 21 consecutive batters before Adley Rutschman’s eight-pitch walk leading off the eighth. Brenan Hanifee relieved after Rutschman’s walk, striking out two to keep the Orioles scoreless.

Brieske was planned to start as an opener and retired four batters while throwing 11 of 16 pitches for strikes.

Hunter struck out eight in 5⅔ innings while throwing 53 of 71 pitches for strikes. He started 17 of 18 batters with strikes, including his first 14.

Kerry Carpenter’s first-inning home run accounted for the game’s lone run.
