G51: Red Sox 7, Orioles 2

Steven Wright (9-4-2-5-7, 122) pitched his third complete game of the season, allowing base runners in only three of Baltimore's nine innings. Jackie Bradley's solo home run snapped a 2-2 tie in the sixth. In the eighth, David Ortiz led off with a solo shot, and Marco Hernandez put an exclamation point on the afternoon with his first career home run, a three-run job to right-center. Boston is now 2 GA of the Orioles in the AL East.

Some smart baserunning and hustle from Mookie Betts gave the Red Sox their first run. Betts began the game with a single to right.
