G3: Red Sox 9, Orioles 5

Orioles - 000 030 200 - 5 10  2
Red Sox - 111 030 21x - 9 14 0
The Red Sox tried something different on Sunday – and it worked. They were the team that jumped out to an early lead and they answered immediately both times the Orioles scored some runs.

Boston is the third team in history to score at least nine runs in each of its first three games (9-9-9), joining the 1976 Reds (11-13-9, against the Astros) and the 1978 Brewers (11-16-13, against the Orioles).

 

The Red Sox are dong it with help from every spot in the lineup. Adam Duvall went 3-for-5, with two doubles, two runs scored, and two RBI. He's driven in eight runs and upped his average to .571.

Rafael Devers, Masataka Yoshida, Alex Verdugo, and Kiké Hernández each had two hits. Verdugo and Yoshida also walked (and Yoshida stole a base). Hernández bopped his second home run of the season.

Tanner Houck (5-5-3-1-5, 70) recorded 15 outs. In the previous two games, Corey Kluber and Chris Sale combined to get 19 outs.

Worth Pointing Out: The Orioles stole zero bases and no Baltimore player had five (or even four) hits.

The Pirates come to Boston for three games, starting tomorrow afternoon.
