Orioles - 000 000 210 - 3 9 2David Ortiz hit his first home run of the year, Adrian Beltre drew a bases-loaded walk (his second BB of the night!) to bring in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, and Jonathan Papelbon struck out Julio Lugo with two men on for the final out of the game.
Red Sox - 011 010 01x - 4 6 0
Baltimore began the season by winning only one of their first 12 games. At 2-14, they are 10 GB. In their last 12 games, they have scored more than two runs only three times. As a team, they are hitting .225/.285/.358. That's a .643 OPS. As a comparison, Jason Varitek's OPS last year was .703.
Anything less than a three-game sweep will be a disappointment.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 248 of 248I will take another BB here also.
Kirk managing like it's WS G7 -- might as well let him have his fun.
Why not, there's at least a 1% chance that he's managing for his job with these 12 games against BOS and NYY coming up.
TAKE TAKE TAKE
OK, I called it.
Hilarious!
Ha ha ha ha ha. I knew there was nothing to worry about!
ZOMG
ZOMG
Ohman!
!!!!
A GS here would really make me happy.
What has McDonald ever done for this team?
But I will take the one run lead.
Just wish we had the 2007 Pap coming in.
Bot Time.
nice gun.
FUCKING NICE CAROM -- EASY OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hate Bot, love the defense.
Bot sucks.
fuckin' fuck yeah!
HALL!!!
Hate Bot, love the defense.
Bot sucks.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
should have tried a tricky slide.
UCH.
UCH.
OK, can we PLEASE get a different closer? I don't think I can survive another season of these ninth inning dramas.
There's 2 out, only 1 on and we can bat in the 9th if we have to. RELAX
bot: get another out and stop pissing amy off.
And I wrote that before I saw the plea for another closer!

This, plus Baltimore has completely depleted its bench. The only way they win is with multiple runs here.
I am biting my tongue. And it hurts.
rats.
Hah, Lugo coming up.
lugo better not suddenly decide to get an attack of the talent.
There's always going to be drama in a one-run game, with almost anyone on the mound.
Little chance of Lugo getting a talent attack.
man...Lugo-Bot battle. epic! DO reminds us of the Mother's Day Miracle.
MASN also mentioned Mother's Day, altho they call it something else. :)
It's the Great Glare-off. Who will glare the other into submission?
Dirty!
Good night!
LUGO!!!
SASAHE!
Phew.
Well, he got out of it, but I still hate watching him. Just how many pitches did it take to get three lousy outs from a team that has now lost 15 games?
The water is Muddy!!!
Thanks, Julio!
Matt Wieters might have been useful there.
Good night, all. See you next week since I will be without modern technology over the weekend. GO SOX!
Bye, Amy!
Good weekend!
