Davis said that the Orioles are not concerned that they fell into third place for the first time this season. He had three homers and eight RBIs on Sunday against Arizona.
Boston moved into a tie with Baltimore in the AL East, a game behind the Blue Jays. The Orioles started the day atop the division by.001 over Toronto, which played a late game against the Yankees. The veteran Texan made five consecutive scoreless relief appearances before rejoining the rotation, beginning with a flawless inning against Detroit on July 27.Boyd has been sharp in seven appearances – six starts – since rejoining the team from the minors just prior to the All-Star break and is coming off his best effort in that stretch.
Barnes walked Mark Trumbo with one out in the seventh, and Pearce hit a dribbler that Xander Bogaerts couldn’t catch up with, and he reached with on the infield single.
ANAHEIM, Calif. – Cliff Pennington hit a go-ahead triple in the eighth inning, Albert Pujols slugged his 22nd home run and Los Angeles ended an 11-game losing streak.
Baltimore tied it when Adam Jones drew a bases-loaded walk with two outs later in the inning off Brad Ziegler (1-3).
The surging Boston Red Sox are staying in the hunt for the American League East lead with both the arms and bats contributing.
Craig Kimbrel received a save opportunity in the ninth, and he needed just nine pitches to convert on his 21st save of the season. This brought up Betts, but Gallardo managed to retire the all-star to keep the game scoreless. Five of those have found a home in the stands, with Betts driving in 14 runs in that stretch.
The Boston Red Sox collide with the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park on Thursday.
Last night’s game between the Red Sox and the Baltimore Orioles was a great example of how Betts has been ripping his bat through the strike zone with lightning speed and accuracy.
Third baseman Aaron Hill (right forearm tightness) was in the original starting lineup but Brock Holt replaced him before the game.
Orioles: Manager Buck Showalter expects reliever Darren O’Day (rotator cuff strain) to spend the minimum time on the DL and return on August 27.
Jonathan Schoop notched a single off of Price to start the bottom of the sixth inning.
Showalter admitted he wasn’t sure if Tillman began feeling the shoulder pain during his most recent start – a seven-inning outing against the A’s last Thursday – or during one of his subsequent side sessions. He’s 10-3 with a 2.74 ERA versus Boston, including 1-0 this season. LHP T.J. McFarland (inflamed left knee) gave up four hits and three runs in 1/3 inning for Class A Frederick in his first rehab game. In the third inning, Betts swung at anything sniffing the strike zone that looked flat enough to hit, striking a 93-mph fastball into right field.
Four straight hits broke it open with one out in the sixth. He struck out six. Nolan Arenado and David Dahl each had two RBIs, and Chris Rusin (3-4) threw three innings in relief of starter Chad Bettis.
YANKEES: Nathan Eovaldi might never throw another pitch for the New York Yankees.
The right-hander revealed Tuesday he will miss the remainder of this season and all of next year because of two tears in his elbow that require serious surgery.
Gallardo got through the fourth inning without any harm, but Boston finally got the scoring started in the fifth.
