The Orioles swept theDetroit Tigers in the Division Series.
The 12 runs scored by the Orioles in Game 1 were the most runs the Orioles have ever scored in a post-season game.[ 42] The Orioles sweep of the Tigers was their first post-season sweep since 1971 when they beat theOakland Athletics 3–0.[ 43] By winning successive games against 2011, 2012 and 2013Cy Young Award winnersJustin Verlander ,David Price andMax Scherzer , the Orioles became only the fourth team to win a postseason series over three Cy Young winners, the only one ever to do so in consecutive games, and the only one not against the 1990sBraves trio ofTom Glavine ,Greg Maddux andJohn Smoltz . In fact, with the final regular-season win overToronto 'sR. A. Dickey , the Orioles won 4 consecutive games started by Cy Young winners, an unprecedented feat. Championship Series [ edit ] The Orioles were swept by theKansas City Royals 4 games to 0 in the AL pennant series.
