It was a spirited try—but the Red Sox could not overcome one of the worst outings in the career of
Clay Buchholz. The Orioles scored six times on the mercurial right-hander in the third inning, and Boston just could not make up enough ground. The Red Sox had a chance to win it in the ninth—loading the bases with just one out—but consecutive groundouts by
Mike Napoli (RBI) and
Mike Carp ended the Patriots' Day
near-miss loss, 7-6.
