The Orioles may be catching the defending World Series champs at just the right time. Coming into this weekend at Camden Yards, the Red Sox have lost six of their last eight games and boast an ever-expanding injured list.
Among the wounded are pitchers Nathan Eovaldi, Brian Johnson, Tyler Thornburg and Hector Velazquez, first basemen Mitch Moreland and Steve Pearce and second basemen Dustin Pedroia and Tzu-Wei Lin.
June has been a rough month for a few of the Boston bats.
