Detroit won't soon forget the display of raw power put on today by Brandon Wood of the Baltimore Orioles. He victimized the Tigers by pounding three pitches out of Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The homers sparked his club to a 9-8 win and got him a spot in the league record book.

In addition to the homers, he collected 3 RBIs and scored 3 runs.
B. Wood hit a solo-shot off J. Bonderman in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off J. Bonderman in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off J. Bonderman in the 6th and struck out in the 8th.
