Albert Suárez provided the Baltimore Orioles with another stellar performance on the mound, helping them secure a 4-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox to split their four-game series. Suárez, who has been solid in his recent starts, delivered six scoreless innings, allowing seven hits, striking out six, and issuing no walks. Despite being out hit 11-3, Baltimore managed to come out on top in this game.

Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson contributed to the Orioles’ offensive effort with home runs. Rutschman’s solo shot initially put Baltimore on the scoreboard, while Henderson added a two-run homer in the sixth inning. The Orioles capitalized on a key error by the Red Sox, extending their lead in the sixth inning.

Pitcher Kutter Crawford, who struggled in his previous five starts, showed improvement for the Red Sox, allowing three runs and two hits over 5 1/3 innings. However, the Red Sox’s offensive efforts fell short against Baltimore’s pitching and defense.

In the upcoming games, the Red Sox will face the Houston Astros, while the Orioles will play against the New York Mets. Both teams are looking to continue their competitive performances as the season progresses.

The Orioles faced a worrisome moment when outfielder Colton Cowser was hit on the wrist by a pitch but managed to stay in the game. With injuries impacting their roster, Baltimore remains resilient as they navigate the challenges of the season.

Overall, the Orioles’ strong pitching and timely hits led them to victory over the Red Sox, showcasing their determination and ability to compete at a high level in the league.
