Lefty Eduardo Rodriguez, a former Baltimore farmhand, had a tough day for the Red Sox. Over 3 2/3 innings, Rodriguez was tagged for seven hits and six runs, all of which came in the top of the fourth.
Orioles starter Miguel Gonzalez did what he needed to with a big lead, holding the Red Sox to eight hits and four runs over five-plus innings in his first start back from the disabled list.
Playing without Dustin Pedroia (placed on the 15-day disabled list with a right hamstring before the game) and Hanley Ramirez (left hand contusion), the Red Sox generated their share of offense.
