Bad defense and a bad bullpen outing tank the Orioles against the Red Sox, 8-3

It wasn’t a great night for broadcaster Scott Garceau, who keeps getting tripped up by Hispanic last names like Urías (oo-REE-as), and who actually miscalled two plays in the sixth—once when he went to fill in his scorecard and missed a dropped fly ball, once when he called a run that didn’t score. But Garceau was dead-right when he said, “This one will not go to Cooperstown for the defense.”

Together, the Orioles and the Red Sox combined for five errors and three unearned runs. The Orioles’ miscues came to the detriment of rookie starter Keegan Akin, who’d been on something of a run his last four starts, including a dominant five shutout innings against a power-hitting Atlanta Braves club last week.
