Both
Andrew Benintendi and
Rafael Devers went "yard" at Camden (see what we did there?) as the Red Sox
smacked the lowly Orioles again, 6-4. Devers' shot was a two-run job—his 10th—and put the Red Sox on top for good, 2-1. Benintendi clouted his 12th round-tripper—a solo shot in the third inning. While
Raffy and
Benny each knocked in two runs,
Christian Vazquez also had a good night—going 2-4 with an RBI. The catcher has raised his batting average to .210.
Eduardo Rodriguez pitched well—albeit briefly—to gain his 8th win of the season. The lefty went just 5.2 innings—giving up eight hits and two earned runs. Up until getting to closer
Craig Kimbrel, the bullpen performed well again. Kimbrel, however, turned a 6-2 cake-walk into a 6-4 cardiac win in the ninth.
Bad inning—no save. The Red Sox can complete the sweep of
The Birds on Wednesday afternoon in a 3:05 PM Eastern start in
Charm City. With
The Pinstriped Posers also winning, the two clubs remain in a tie for first-place in the American League East.
