The Red Sox walked a tightrope against the Orioles with little room for error. But several missteps in the late innings sunk the Red Sox. There were two defensive miscues in the top of the eighth inning that allowed the Orioles to jump in front. The bullpen didn't close things down as it gave up a pair of two-run homers and Isaiah Campbell got roughed up - he surrendered six runs in the 10th.
It could have been a resilient win for the Red Sox as it looked for a minute like they would overcome their mistakes. But it ended up being another deflating loss. Alex Cora stressed playing better at Fenway to begin the season. But the Red Sox have yet find the right recipe to create some home cooking.
- Gunnar Henderson came through in a big situation for the Orioles as the shortstop blasted a two-run home run into the Green Monster seats to begin the top of the 10th inning.
- Colton Cowser was a catalyst for Baltimore's offense, as he was all series. He belted two home runs, including a three-run shot in the 10th. He finished 3-for-5 at the plate with four RBIs.
