DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Tigers were working on a combined no-hitter on Friday night before Gunnar Henderson hit a two-out triple for Baltimore in the ninth inning.
Henderson pulled the first pitch of his at-bat against Tyler Holton down the right field line for his seventh triple of the season. Holton then fanned Anthony Santander for the final out in Detroit's 1-0 victory.
Detroit pitchers Beau Brieske and Brant Hurter retired 21 consecutive batters before Adley Rutschman's eight-pitch walk leading off the eighth.
Brieske, a 26-year-old right-hander, was planned to start as an opener. He retired four batters while throwing 11 of 16 pitches for strikes.
Hunter, a 26-year-old rookie left-hander, struck out eight in 5 2/3 innings while throwing 53 of 71 pitches for strikes. He started 17 of 18 batters with strikes, including his first 14.
Brenan Hanifee, a 26-year-old rookie right-hander, relieved after Rutschman's walk. He retired the next two batters on a strikeout and a forceout, then struck out Colton Cowser.
Holton entered for the ninth inning. He earned his eighth save.

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Taiwanese company Gold Apollo said Wednesday that it authorized its brand on the pagers that exploded in Lebanon and Syria but that another company based in Budapest manufactured them.
The pagers were manufactured by BAC Consulting KFT, based in Hungary’s capital, according to a statement released Wednesday by Gold Apollo.
Gold Apollo said the AR-924 pagers used by the Hezbollah militant group were produced and sold by a company called BAC that was authorized to use Gold Apollo’s trademark in some regions. “We only provide brand trademark authorization and have no involvement in the design or manufacturing of this product,” the Gold Apollo statement read.
Experts believe explosive material was put into the pagers prior to their delivery and use in a sophisticated supply chain infiltration.
Gold Apollo chair Hsu Ching-kuang told journalists Wednesday that his company has had an authorization agreement with BAC for the past three years.
“This company has cooperated with us and represents many of our products,” Hsu said. “They also wanted to make pagers and asked me if they could use our company’s brand name.” He added the products involved in the explosion were designed by BAC.
Hsu and other Gold Apollo representatives did not disclose more details about BAC and did not show any proof of the organizations’ agreement. When pressed for information on BAC, Hsu became quiet and left.
