As Dylan Bundy's pitch counts have escalated, so too have his walk totals, which has made for some unsteady sailing for the Orioles rookie right-hander over the past month.
But in a game the Orioles needed to win to remain afloat in the division race, Bundy battled through early command issues to keep baseball's best batting order at bay in a 6-3 win over the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
With the win, the Orioles (79-65) pick up ground on both teams ahead of them in the AL East standings, moving into a tie for second with the Toronto Blue Jays and two games back of the division-leading Red Sox with 18 games left in the regular season.
