Posted on by admin in Sports News

dylan bundy baltimore oriolesThe Baltimore Orioles (35-80) return to Camden Yards for the first time since July 29 to begin a four-game series against the surging Boston Red Sox (81-35).

The Orioles finished their recent road trip at 3-6, and their offensive production was the only bright spot over that stretch. Over their last 12 outings, the Orioles scored 80 runs while going 6-6.

While the O’s are 3-5 in August and have lost three of their last five games, the Red Sox are now running away with the division as they lead the A.L. East by eight games over the second place New York Yankees.

On top of posting a 13-5 record since the end of the All-Star Break, the Red Sox have an amazing 25-7 record since the start of July.
