After a road trip that saw a promising ending, the Orioles returned home to start an eight game home stand. Their first opponent would be the Boston Red Sox, who were only coming in for a quick two game series.
Game One: Red Sox: 5, Orioles: 3
Yovani Gallardo started for the Orioles and pitched as effectively as he could, which is not very high praise for him. Gallardo went five innings allowing three runs on four hits while striking out two and walking four.
For the Orioles’ offense on the night, two runs came thanks to a Matt Wieters RBI single, making it a 3-2 game at the time.
