The Orioles and Red Sox faced off in the final game of this four-game series and it went just as you might predict a game with Chris Sale facing the Orioles. Their only run scored on a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning and they otherwise were very quiet at the plate in the 4-1 loss.
There are always multiple factors that contribute to a loss, but this time the starting pitching was not one of them. Alex Cobb continued his strong run of games with seven innings of two-run baseball.
