Red Sox Win Fourth-Straight, Topple O’s
Boston Wins A Nail-Bitter At Fenway
The Boston Red Sox squeezed out a 2-1 victory Sunday afternoon as the Orioles provided a scare in the top of the ninth before Takashi Saito and the Red Sox shut the door on the O’s.
After a poor start to the season, the local nine have put together a four-game winning streak to get to .500 placing them at 6-6 on the season.
Jon Lester (1-2) out-pitched Koji Uehara of the Orioles with seven innings of scoreless ball allowing only four hits while striking out nine. Lester notched his first victory of the season after a pair of rough starts for the young southpaw.
Dustin Pedroia’s and Mike Lowell’s RBI singles provided enough firepower for Lester and Sox to win their fourth straight game and seventh straight against Baltimore.
The Red Sox will look to complete a sweep of the Orioles tomorrow morning as the Sox will take part in their annual early Patriots Day game. Justin Masterson will take the mound for the Sox in his first start of the season.
