Orioles battered by Boston, 13-2, on Opening Day
Manager Brandon Hyde’s Orioles, who waited 300 days to play another meaningful baseball game thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, began this shortened season with a 13-2 pounding at the hands of the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
Tommy Milone, who was deputized as the Orioles’ Opening Day starter when All-Star John Means came up with a tired arm, worked around walks in the first two innings to keep the game tied in the first two innings. But he allowed four doubles — all down the left-field line — in a four-run third inning that ended his day.
