John Means wasn’t in the mood to partake in games the Boston Red Sox were playing with him. The Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher went five innings against the defending World Series champions, allowing just one run in a 4-0 loss.
With the loss, the Baltimore Orioles fell to 6-10 on the season. They also tied the 2009 Philadelphia Phillies after allowing a home run for the 16th consecutive game to start the season. It didn’t come until the bottom of the eighth inning, but a three-run shot put by Xander Bogaerts put an exclamation point on the ballgame and continued a depressing run by this pitching staff.
