Ty Wigginton broke a seventh-inning tie with a three-run homer off Scott Atchison that landed left of Pesky’s Pole in right field, barely clearing the right field fence. The Orioles scored the game’s final nine runs to pound the sleepy Red Sox 9-1 on Tuesday night. Clay Buchholz allowed four hits and a run over six [...]
In what has been a lost season for the Red Sox, Daisuke Matsuzaka looked to build on his bounce-back season of sorts on Monday night against the last-place Orioles. Dice-K was looking for his 10th win, which would give him at least 10 wins in three of four seasons with the Red Sox. He probably [...]
Jon Lester entered Wednesday night’s start a perfect 12-0 against the Baltimore Orioles, so it looked like the Red Sox would be able to end their three-game losing streak and keep pace with the Yankees and Rays in an increasingly impossible push to the playoffs. But suddenly, Lester gave up a 1-0 lead by allowing [...]
Marco Scutaro’s throw sailed into right field. Boston’s playoff hopes may have sailed away with it. Scutaro’s two-base error on a throw to second base in the third inning allowed the winning run to come home in the Baltimore Orioles’ 5-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Tuesday night at Camden Yards, the Orioles struck [...]
Fans of fireworks on the Fourth of July were dissapointed this holiday. At Fenway Park at least. The Boston Red Sox managed only three hits on Independence Day this year, as they were shut down by Brian Matusz and the most-awful Baltimore Orioles 6-1 in Boston on Sunday in the oppressive afternoon heat. The Red Sox [...]
In early May, the Red Sox were 8.5 games behind the Rays in the AL East, and had a sub-.500 record. The team’s hitting was inconsistent, the starting pitching was disappointing, and the bullpen was overused. Fast forward to July 3, and game No. 81, the exact midpoint of the 162-game regular season. We’re now [...]
With the AL East lead nearly a three-way tie among the Red Sox, Yankees and Rays, the Sox need to pick up every win they can, especially against teams like the struggling Orioles. Despite 10 players on the DL, the Red Sox keep finding ways to win. Good luck charm Daniel Nava was at it [...]
The Red Sox were looking for the sweep on Sunday in Baltimore, but the brooms were on hold…for 11 innings, as the Red Sox and Orioles played a tight one at Camden Yards. The Sox and O’s each scored twice in the second inning, with Victor Martinez clubbing a two-run shot in the top half, [...]
The final score tells the someone who hadn’t seen the game that the Red Sox dominated the Orioles on Saturday night. In many respects, that’s true. But, as is with most baseball scores, 8-2 doesn’t tell the whole story. To call the game a blowout would do a disservice to Baltimore starter Jeremy Guthrie, who [...]
Clay Buchholz is on fire right now. The Red Sox right-hander tossed a computer game shutout while throwing just 101 pitches as the Sox topped the Orioles 11-0. Orioles prospect Chris Tillman, acquired in the Erik Bedard trade, had trouble from “play ball” as he gave up three quick runs to the Red Sox while [...]
This is pathetic. The Red Sox can not for the life of them get it together, getting swept by the league worst Orioles 3-2 in 10 innings Sunday. After Scutaro got caught stealing 3rd base in the 1st, former Sox shortstop Julio Lugo returned the favor in the 3rd, getting thrown out by Varitek at [...]
Despite a strong start from John Lackey, the Red Sox were unable to hold off Miguel Tejada and the Baltimore Orioles Friday night at Camden Yards. Lackey pitched seven strong innings, striking out six while allowing three earned runs. The game was the fourth straight one-run game between the two teams, which is a far [...]
When the Orioles took a 7-4 lead in the 10th inning on Sunday afternoon against the Red Sox, it seemed they were on their way to finally beating the Red Sox. While they did earn their third win of the year and their first over the Sox in 11 tries, they made it interesting, winning [...]
So I guess it’s not just the Red Sox versus the Orioles anymore. The Sox are trying a new game: how many ways can you try to lose, yet beat the Orioles again? The Red Sox figured out yet another way on Saturday night against the boys from Baltimore, hibernating for the first six innings [...]
FINAL SCORES: Red Sox 4, Orioles 3 — Celtics 100, Heat 98 — Sabres 4, Bruins 1 All four major Boston pro sports teams are in action tonight, for possibly the only time ever. The Red Sox will try to get their season going against the Orioles, the Patriots will be deciding which gargantuan corn-fed [...]
