The Red Sox rallied in the bottom of the first inning on Jackie Bradley's single and one-out, back-to-back home runs from Xander Bogaerts (#33) and J.D. Martinez (#36), but the Orioles tied the game in the next half-inning and took the lead for good in the third.

Baltimore kicked back and relaxed after battering Andrew Cashner for four runs in the sixth.

By the time Jhoulys Chacín (2.2-5-4-1-3, 60) had thrown four pitches, the Orioles led 2-0. Jonathan Villar doubled on the first pitch of the day and D.J. Stewart homered on a 1-1 fastball. As noted, Boston took a 3-2 lead, but Richie Martin homered in the second and Renato Núñez went deep in the third.

In the bottom of the fifth, trailing by only one run, the Red Sox got two-out singles from Rafael Devers and Bogaerts, but Martinez jumped on the first pitch and flied to right.
