Red Sox Shut Out Orioles in 5-0 Victory
Baltimore, MD – The Boston Red Sox delivered a commanding performance against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night, securing a 5-0 victory at Camden Yards. This win marks Boston’s fifth in six games, solidifying their position as the American League’s top wild card contender, trailing the division-leading Toronto Blue Jays by five games.
Star pitcher Lucas Giolito showcased his skills by allowing just four hits over eight innings, raising his season record to 9-2. Striking out eight batters, Giolito’s dominance included a decisive 11-pitch strikeout of Jeremiah Jackson to conclude the eighth inning. He threw a total of 104 pitches.
Offensively, Boston was propelled by home runs from Trevor Story and David Hamilton, who led off the second and third innings, putting the Red Sox in control early. Despite a strong performance from Orioles pitcher Kyle Bradish, who struck out 10 in six innings in his first start since Tommy John surgery, Baltimore struggled to provide run support. Bradish’s efforts were marred as the Orioles could not capitalize on opportunities, including a potential rally in the sixth inning when they had two runners on base.
Boston added a run in the eighth and capitalized on a fielding error by rookie left fielder Dylan Beavers in the ninth, resulting in a two-run double that sealed the game. With Brayan Bello slated to take the mound on Wednesday, the Red Sox look to extend their winning streak and continue their playoff push, while the Orioles have yet to announce their starter for the matchup.
The Red Sox remain focused as they eye the playoffs, determined to build on their recent success and capitalize on every opportunity.
