Red Sox Rout Orioles 19-5 as Devers Drives Career-High Eight RBIs

The Boston Red Sox dominated the Baltimore Orioles 19-5 in the first game of a day-night doubleheader, fueled by a career-high eight RBIs from Rafael Devers, including a three-run homer and a grand slam. The Red Sox exploded offensively with a five-run sixth inning and a 13-run eighth inning, marking their biggest single-inning surge since 2003, as multiple players contributed significantly to the win. Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino resorted to using position players Emmanuel Rivera and Abraham Toro as pitchers in the late innings, highlighting the team's struggles and bullpen limitations. While the Red Sox's offense came alive late, they lost star third baseman Alex Bregman early due to a right quad injury. Despite the blowout, the Orioles showed some resilience with multiple hits from five players, but their pitching and overall performance were overwhelmed by Boston's offensive outburst. The win improved the Red Sox to an even 26-26 record as they look to build momentum in the AL East.
