It was an unspectacular performance by Wilson, but just what the Orioles needed, as the righty allowed six hits and three runs over six innings. Wilson was promoted from Triple-A Norfolk to make the start.
Kyle Kendrick didn't fare nearly as well in his return from Triple-A for Boston, allowing eight hits and six runs over four innings. The sinkerballer was called on to replace knuckleballer Steven Wright, who is out for the season with a left knee injury that will require surgery next week.
Dustin Pedroia hit his first homer of the season for the Red Sox.
