Red Sox - 000 020 000 - 2 8 0 Orioles - 021 000 03x - 6 8 0Jarrod Saltalamacchia's two-run homer in the fifth brought the Red Sox to within one run, but Boston managed only two base runners over the final four innings -- singles from Josh Reddick (with two outs in the sixth) and Marco Scutaro (with two outs in the seventh; caught stealing) -- and neither of them advanced to second.
After Jeremy Guthrie (7-8-2-1-4, 110) departed, Jim Johnson retired all six batters he faced (the top six in the order), allowing only one ball out of the infield. The Red Sox lost for only the third time in their last 16 games. They are 13-3 since June 30, and remain 1.5 GA ahead of the Yankees, who lost to the Rays 3-2.
The Orioles padded their lead in the eighth, when, with two outs, Alfredo Aceves walked Matt Weiters on four pitches, and then gave up back-to-back home runs to Derrek Lee and Mark Reynolds. It was Baltimore's first B2B HRs of the year.
Kyle Weiland (6-6-3-3-2, 100) did pretty well in his second major league start. After a quick first inning, he allowed two leadoff singles and a double to Reynolds in Baltimore's two-run second. With two gone in the third, Weiland walked Nick Markakis and gave up singles to Adam Jones and Wieters.
The Orioles snapped a seven-game losing streak against the Red Sox this season, and are now 3-7 against Boston. ...Dustin Pedroia singled in the first inning, extending his hitting streak to 17 games and his on-base streak to 29 games. ... Reddick went 3-for-4, with a double and a run scored, and is batting .367. ... Adrian Gonzalez (0-for-4) is 2-for-24 since the Break.
Weiland has been ejected from every major league game of his career. Can he keep his streak alive?
Guthrie has a 6.96 ERA in six games (five starts) since June 21. The one relief appearance was 3.1 innings against the Red Sox on July 10.
AL East: Yankees/Rays at 7 PM.

Pedroia has reached base (H, BB or HBP) in 28 straight games. Youkilis has a 26-game streak.
We beat this franchise 1-0 exactly 64 years ago today. Their manager's name? Muddy.
(Birdie Tebbets went 0 for 4.)
Funny if KW were ejected again!
Beach! right now!
(picton, on - sandbanks prov park)
Just finished work near here, time to enjoy some sun, sand and listen to some baseball!
Mu gut tells me that we'll be stuck with MASN tonight. (NESN last night and probably NESN in the day game tomorrow...)
NESN My gut is wrong!
Baseball on the beach!
beach
baseball
... & beverage?
But of course! Also bought some local prince Edward county wines to bring home.
There is nothing better than sitting on the beach watching the waves come in. Unless, of course, it is accompanied by baseball and beer!
i assume angle takes good routes to fly balls?
come on, don, jones wasn't going to try to score. jeez.
We just received a beautiful orchid. Now let's see if I can keep it alive. Any flower people out there?

Remy doesn't know what a valedictorian is...
don sounded stumped too - laura thought maybe the truck told him.
Yeah, that tell-tale pause makes me think he got the answer in his ear.
It seems that whenever I take a peek at this game the Orioles are always batting. Probably just a coincidence.
SATALADONGIA!!!!!!!!!!
NaCl + HR = Salty Dong
Probably just a coincidence.
What are the other options?
Could be a conspiracy
Hi, all.
The other options are that the Sox were not working the count and that Weiland is not the most economical pitcher.
The HR Derby talk is all hearsay. Right? I heard someone say that the HR Derby winners more often than not have a better second half. I think it's one of those things where you see it happen a few times and you therefore think it happens "all the time." Like the Yanks not being able to beat a pitcher they've never seen before.
remy offering the "HR derby made gonzalez slump" bullshit.
Phils down 2-0 early. If we win and they lose, we've got the best record in baseball.
Commercials on GDGD--is that new? Missed the first out anyway.
people have looked at who participates and how they did before and after the HR derby. no correlation at all, generally. one or two players might screw themselves up, but that would be personally. everything that is in the media mentions it as an overall thing.
Whew. Back from a phone call with my daughter...but still watching. Salty!!!
L, thanks for the orchid links. I could have done that, huh? One of the suggestions in those links is to boil your water before watering the flower. I don't think that's going to happen.
There was such a long pause after the valedictorian question that I bet you are right, the truck told him.
when weiland is done, he should call the ump a motherfucker to keep his ejection streak alive...
I vote for conspiracy.
Kat, Allan thought my "marvels of Google" comment was snarky, so just in case you thought so, too, it wasn't. :)
Orchids are amazing. Seeing someone's photos of an orchid garden in Hawaii made me want to go there.
not having the red sox bat may be about the only way the orioles can win.
Runs, please. Time to score another 8.
TB has loaded, one out, 7th
I did not mean that THEY were supposed to score runs....
Bah. It's a little late in the game for that.
Aaaaaand that happened.
well, that sucks.
DAMN
our task has become a bit more difficult.
as aceves gets his potatoes mashed.
That's enough of that
No problem. Sox can win this with the proverbial bloop and a bloop and a bloop and a bloop and a blast.
oooh baby...... Rays tie it then take the lead
i prefer a blast and a blast and a blast and a blast and a blast ...
Well, Aceves could not be that good forever, could he?
Well, if the Yankees lose, this will not be as annoying
"i prefer a blast and a blast and a blast and a blast and a blast ..."
I like to keep things more realistic.
Fast of Tammuz Day miracle?
sadly, i think an out and an out and an out is the most realistic.
Yucky clean water in MD
Drinkable water
Ah well, still in first
switched over to the rays game. CF camera seems to be on a rooftop about 5 miles from the park.
(which is tough to do in a dome...)
We're still 7 runs away from 80,000 in franchise history.
DP gets Rays out of the 8th, TB 3-2.
Huge DP hit into by Cano. We're three outs away.
Stupid GD insisting the first batter of the inning is up but there's one out.
peralta called for quick-pitching to dumbo.
2 OUTS
maybe it's the shadows on his helmet, but it looks like russell martin has a hitler mustache
MFY LOSE!
1.5 up
Martin definitely has some kind of stache
