The Orioles allowed 23 hits and 12 runs tonight at Fenway Park. Their starter, gifted an early five-run advantage, failed to complete four innings. Multiple relievers surrendered three runs with the final three coming in the bottom of the ninth. Still, somehow, Baltimore won the ball game.
The offense tallied 14 hits of its own and launched five home runs. James McCann went deep twice, and Aaron Hicks homered in a 3-for-4 effort. Jordan Westburg and Gunnar Henderson added blasts of their own, and the Orioles squeaked out a 13-12 victory against the Red Sox. Baltimore became the first team to win a game when allowing 23 or more hits in a nine-inning game since 1930.
