Orioles Beat Red Sox Twice, Secure Series Split

The Baltimore Orioles secured back-to-back victories against the Boston Red Sox, highlighted by strong performances from Ryan O'Hearn and Dylan Carlson, each hitting solo home runs in a 5-1 win that completed a four-game series split interrupted by rain. Dean Kremer pitched 5 1/3 shutout innings in Sunday’s win, while Trevor Rogers delivered a standout performance in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader, allowing just two hits over 6 1/3 innings despite a challenging season. The Orioles' offense capitalized on defensive errors and aggressive baserunning, notably O’Hearn's hustle and a misplayed throw that allowed a critical run in the eighth inning. Boston's lineup struggled, compounded by the loss of Alex Bregman to injury, and despite Jarren Duran's four singles, they left numerous runners stranded. The Orioles' resilience was underscored by contributions from lesser-expected players and effective bullpen management following the starter's efforts. These wins mark a rare consecutive victory stretch for Baltimore this season, providing a morale boost amid a challenging year.
