Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters prior to the series finale that Gunnar Henderson will be a "pain in the butt" for teams in the American League East for years to come.
Henderson, the reigning AL Rookie of the Year, provided the game-altering hit in the second inning when he blasted a grand slam with two outs off Kutter Crawford. That was more than enough offense for the Orioles as they tagged Crawford, who tossed six innings and allowed four hits with two walks and five strikeouts, for five runs in the frame.
Henderson is an integral part of Baltimore's young core and at just 22 years old, the Red Sox should get used to his standout play for a long time and just hope it doesn't always come at their expense.
Connor Wong recorded two out of Boston's six hits in the game and he scored the only run for the Red Sox in the top of the second. He's batting .329 on the season.
