Rain would prove to be a common opponent on this night in Baltimore. With the way the game began, you have to wonder why the Orioles even tried to start on time. They didn’t even make it through the first without a delay.
Mookie Betts led off the game for the Red Sox and after one pitch, he was retired on a fly ball to Adam Jones in deep center field. Andrew Benintendi grounded out to O’s starter Kevin Gausman on the fourth pitch of his at-bat and there were two quick outs.
