I sure hope you like Orioles-Red Sox games, because we’re going to be seeing a lot of them these next few days.
The two clubs tonight begin a rare five-game series, having tacked on an extra game to help make up for the originally scheduled April 4-6 set that was canceled because of the lockout. This is the Birds’ first time playing five straight games against the same opponent since Sept. 17-20 against the Rays. In that instance, the Orioles lost the first four games of the series before salvaging the finale. They scored two or fewer runs in four of the five games.
