Home Run Ball: Alex Bregman gave the Red Sox an early 2-0 lead against Charlie Morton with a 2-run Home Run in the 1st Inning. It's his 1st with the Red Sox.  Kristian Campbell made it 4-1 with a 2-run shot of his own in the 2nd Inning. Like Bregman, Tristan Casas hit his 1st Home Run of the season and made it 7-3 with his own 2-run shot in the 7th Inning.

Houck's Outing: Tanner Houck made his 2nd start of the season and ended up going 4+ Innings against the Orioles. Houck exited after hitting Cedrick Mullins to lead off the Bottom of the 5th Inning. Houck was staked to an early 2-0 lead but gave a run back in the Bottom of the 1st on a leadoff Home Run from Mullins. He ended up allowing 3 earned runs (a pair of 2-out runs) on 5 hits and 2 walks. Houck struck out 6.  He's now allowed 3 Home Runs and all 3 have been solo shots.

Sox Pen: Zack Kelly was the 1st reliever out of the bullpen and he worked a scoreless 5th Inning behind Houck. Kelly got Adley Rutschman to hit into a Double Play and then go the next hitter, Jordan Westburg on a groundout. Justin Wilson gave up a 2-out Double in the 6th but left the runner stranded for a scoreless frame. Justin Slaten gave up 1 hit and struck out 1 in pitching a scoreless 7th.  Garrett Whitlock gave up a run in working the final 2 Innings.
