BALTIMORE -- Yefry Ramirez's opening act -- a matchup against Chris Sale and the Boston Red Sox -- was a daunting one. And the righty handled it well. Ramirez pitched into the fifth inning on Wednesday afternoon against the Sox, holding Boston to three runs, two of which scored after he exited.
Ramirez, a last-minute addition with Andrew Cashner on the disabled list, held Boston to one run -- a solo shot by Mookie Betts -- through the first four frames. Ranked as the Orioles' No. 17 prospect by MLB Pipeline, Ramirez struck out six and allowed just four hits.
