In a thrilling game against the Boston Red Sox, the Baltimore Orioles emerged victorious with a final score of 5-3. Cedric Mullins was the star of the show, hitting two home runs and driving in three runs to lead the Orioles to victory. Albert Suárez pitched a stellar game, giving up only one run and striking out a career-high eight batters over six innings.
The Orioles, who have been struggling in recent games, managed to hold off the Red Sox and secure only their second win in six games. With this win, they aim to catch up to the AL East-leading New York Yankees. On the other hand, the Red Sox suffered their seventh loss in their last 11 games, hindering their pursuit of the AL’s third wild-card spot.
Triston Casas and Masataka Yoshida contributed to the Red Sox’s efforts with RBI doubles, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Orioles’ strong performance. Tyler O’Neill, who hit two home runs in the previous game, struggled with three strikeouts in this matchup.
Overall, Mullins’ impressive performance, along with solid pitching from Suárez, led the Orioles to a well-deserved victory. The Red Sox, on the other hand, will need to regroup and bounce back in their next game against the Orioles. RHP Dean Kremer is set to start for the Orioles in the upcoming series finale against Red Sox RHP Nick Pivetta.
