On Saturday, the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles met at Camden Yards for their third game of this four-game series, and after a rain delay started the night, Alex Cora's team earned the 5-1 victory.
Boston's arms were impressive in this one, as Brayan Bello got the start and pitched six innings of two-hit, one-run ball while striking out six. This is the type of performance the team really needed for him, and he delivered in an important contest.
Brennan Bernardino (two hits in 1/3 of an inning), Lucas Sims (no hits in 2/3 of an inning), Chris Martin (one hit in one inning) and Kenley Jansen (no hits in one inning) finished it out without allowing a run.
The Red Sox's offense was solid, driving in five runs and only striking out once. Rafael Devers (1-for-4 with a home run) and Jarren Duran (1-for-5) both drove in two runs and Tyler O'Neill (2-for-4) drove in one in his return from the injured list. Triston Casas (2-for-4) was the only other Red Sox to finish with multiple hits.
Duran also made an incredible catch in the ninth inning which may have robbed a home run.
