Machado Homers, O’s End Strained Series Vs Red Sox With Win
BOSTON (AP) — A tape-measure home run. A diving catch in the field. A double steal. Gutsy starting pitching.
“It actually seemed like we played a baseball game tonight,” Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said Thursday night after the Orioles capped a tense four-game series at Fenway Park with a more sedate, 8-3 win over the Boston Red Sox.
“After all that drama, we’re looking forward to getting back in that flow again.”
In a series marred by beanballs, brushbacks and racial rancor, the finale was decided in a more traditional way: when Baltimore scored five times in the fourth inning, including Manny Machado’s long three-run homer.
