The red sox are on fire as they swept the Baltimore Orioles and are on top of the American East Standings by two games.  In Game 1, E-Rod started his first game going 5 IP, striking out 7 and gave up 3 earned runs.  But it was the bats of Christian Vasquez who went 3 for 5, and Rafael Devers coming out of the slump belting his first Home run in the season.   Kike Hernandez also hit a home run off of Orioles pitcher Wells.  The Red Sox won 7 to 3.

In game 2 of the series, Rafael Devers continued to bat away as he belted his second home run off of Orioles Pitcher Zimmerman.  In the 10th inning, Orioles Dillon Tate came in relief.  With Red Sox Outfielder Chavis at 3rd base, Tate threw a wild pitch allowing Chavis to score.  Later, Christian Vasquez reached on an infield single to third that allowed Verdugo to score.  The Red Sox would win 6 to 4.  

In Game 3, Red Sox batters were on fire.  This time, the Red Sox hit 6 home runs.  JD Martinez hit 3 home runs, Rafael Devers 2 home runs and Verdugo hit one home run.  The last time the team hit that many was on June 14, 2019 in Camden Yards.  Red Sox win 14-9.


The Red Sox sweep two consecutive series and are bound to visit the Minnesota Twins in their next four game series before heading home to Fenway Park.
