Orioles recap: Birds absorb first loss, 4-2 to Red Sox, in Fenway Park finale

Despite their best start in club history, the Orioles were eventually going to lose a game, and their seven-game winning streak to open the season ended abruptly Wednesday night with a 4-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.

The Orioles’ bats went cold in the Boston chill as they were unable to break through against Red Sox right-hander Joe Kelly, who tight-roped through trouble throughout his start.

They put 12 runners on base against Kelly – seven hits and five walks – but managed just two runs over the starter's five innings.
