Refsnyder homers in return from IL as Red Sox sweep Orioles

Red Sox outfielder Rob Refsnyder homered Thursday in his return from a strained left oblique, helping Boston secure a 3-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles to complete their first four-game sweep of the O's since August of 2018.

Romy Gonzalez's go-ahead single in the eighth inning proved to be the difference for Boston which went 7-1 on its eight-game road trip.

Trevor Story also homered for the Red Sox who lead the New York Yankees by a game for the American League's top wild card.
