Trevor Rogers helps Orioles beat Red Sox. Gunnar Henderson homers, Samuel Basallo has 2 hits, 2 RBIs
Trevor Rogers took a shutout into the seventh inning, helping the Baltimore Orioles secure a 6-3 win over the Boston Red Sox.
Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg was hit with another injury Monday when he left the game in the first inning of their game in Boston.
3) Red Sox starter Dustin May pitched 6 innings, allowing two runs, eight hits and two walks while striking out five. Gunnar Henderson crushed a 414-foot, 108 mph solo homer off May in the third inning, putting the Orioles ahead 1-0. Dylan Beavers’ RBI single in the fourth inning made it 2-0.
Right-hander Jordan Hicks continues to struggle, as he allowed two runs in the ninth inning on Monday. The 28-year-old now has a 6.61 ERA in 28 appearances this season and a 7.07 ERA in 15 outings since the Red Sox acquired him in the Rafael Devers trade. However, manager Alex Cora remained committed to him in the postgame presser, via NESN.
There was a sense of déjà vu as Rogers befuddled the Boston bats; the Orioles southpaw made his season debut against the Red Sox on May 24, a scoreless gem in which he yielded only two hits over 6.1 innings en route to a 2-1 O’s victory.
The Boston Red Sox lost first baseman Triston Casas to a devastating knee injury in May. The 25-year-old had struggled early in the season, but carried high expectations to return to his prior form in which he put up a 129 and 124 OPS+ in 2023 and 2024 respectively.
The loss — the Red Sox' second straight — dropped them to 2-2 on their homestand, in need of a victory on Tuesday to claim a winning record in this stretch at Fenway before heading to Yankee Stadium for the weekend.
9) Abraham Toro put the Red Sox ahead 3-1 in the seventh with an RBI sac fly after Abreu and Romy Gonzalez hit back-to-back singles to lead off the inning. Gonzalez’s single deflected off Junk’s foot into right field.
