David Price turned in the best Red Sox starting pitching performance of the year this afternoon, hurling seven shutout innings in
Boston's 4-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Price allowed just three hits and struck out seven while walking none. On the offensive end of things,
Xander Bogaerts was pretty much a one-man show—driving in all four runs, including a three-run home run in the eighth inning.
J. D. Martinez added two hits to the offense, while
Andrew Benintendi had to leave the game after fouling a pitch off his foot. Thankfully, x-rays were negative, but
BennyBallgame will probably miss a few starts. In any event,
The Carmine Hose have pulled to within four games of the .500 mark (6-10), and will look to take the series tomorrow on
Marathon Monday (11 AM Eastern start).
