The Orioles had just three base runners – two hits and a walk – against Owens, who has thrown 15/3 scoreless innings against the O’s in two meetings this season. “Our pitchers deserve so much credit for that”.

“Overall, I feel good”, he said through an interpreter. “It fires you up”.
The dive was reminiscent of Torii Hunter’s fall in right field in the 2013 playoffs; however, fortunately for Red Sox Nation, Betts made the catch to end the game and preserve Hill’s shutout. He was excellent in Tuesday’s 4-1 win at Washington, giving up one unearned run over six innings for his 100th career victory.
Along with the decade-long run of on-field success, Lucchino oversaw a $300 million renovation of Fenway Park. “There’s concentration. We’re playing really good baseball”, Lovullo said.
Ten of Baltimore’s 12 hits in the series were singles. It’s given each player confidence individually to say, ‘We’re ready to turn the page and contend for a championship next year.’ All along we have not overlooked today’s game. Instead, they stumbled through arguably their most lifeless series of the season. Still, Holt ended up scoring from third – another two-out runs against the Orioles – on a Jimenez wild pitch. Rutledge grounded out, third baseman M.Machado to first baseman Pearce, R.Castillo scored, B.Holt to third.
Orioles: CF Adam Jones was out of the starting lineup for the fourth straight game because of back spasms.
“All things considered, I don’t think he threw the ball as bad as his numbers indicated”, Red Sox interim manager Torey Lovullo said. It was not a complete game like Hill’s, but the Red Sox still won 2-0. He’s being replaced after the season.
The Baltimore Orioles’ bats have gone cold at the wrong time.
Orsillo’s firing has been met with disdain from Red Sox fans. Rodriguez has allowed three or fewer runs in his last six starts.

But the fans at the ballpark let it be known, loud and clear, about how they felt about losing Orsillo, a regular companion on so many spring and summer and early autumn days, during his last broadcast of a Sox game on Yawkey Way. I am pleased he will remain with the organization and that we can count on his wisdom as we tackle strategic issues facing the Red Sox and Major League Baseball. He posted a 4.76 ERA in 15 starts. Rice would finish second in AL Rookie of the Year voting – to Lynn. Red Sox 8, Orioles 0. 432 versus the Tigers in 2010 (minimum 40 plate appearances). Boston would have to win each of its last seven games to do that. These 14 years with the Red Sox have been the pinnacle. His home run Sunday was his third. Throughout the year, the former infielder has had his fair share of botched plays, bruised ribs and even a concussion from a failed home run catch in late July.
