G95: Orioles 6, Red Sox 2 

Red Sox - 000 020 000 - 2  8  0
Orioles - 021 000 03x - 6  8  0
Jarrod 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.
Example
Kyle Weiland / Jeremy Guthrie

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.

    We beat this franchise 1-0 exactly 64 years ago today. Their manager's name? Muddy.

    (Birdie Tebbets went 0 for 4.)

    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.

    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.

    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.
