Game Preview
The Baltimore Orioles hope to build momentum from their recent win as they prepare to host the Boston Red Sox for a four-game series starting Thursday.
The Orioles ended a two-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. Despite a mixed performance since the All-Star break, Baltimore showed strong pitching and defense in their latest win.
Conversely, the Red Sox missed a chance to sweep the Texas Rangers, losing 9-7 in extra innings after leading 7-4 late in the game. Boston has struggled with pitching consistency, allowing four home runs on Wednesday and showing signs of instability since the All-Star break.
Key performers for the Orioles included Gunnar Henderson, who hit his 30th home run of the season, and Coby Mayo, who recorded his first major league hit. Henderson’s home run was his second since the All-Star break, and Mayo ended a lengthy hitless streak.
The Orioles have dominated their previous matchups with the Red Sox this season, winning five of six games. For the series opener, Baltimore will start right-hander Zach Eflin (8-7, 3.83 ERA), who is 3-0 since joining the Orioles from the Tampa Bay Rays. Eflin has had success against the Red Sox, holding a 2-0 record with a 6.00 ERA in five career starts.
The Red Sox will counter with Nick Pivetta (5-7, 4.44 ERA), who has struggled in recent outings but boasts a strong career record against Baltimore. Pivetta is 8-2 with a 3.18 ERA in 12 career starts against the Orioles.
Both teams are looking to capitalize on this series, with the Orioles aiming to extend their recent success and the Red Sox seeking to bounce back from their recent setbacks.
