What fresh wrinkle will tonight bring in this suddenly burning rivalry between the Red Sox and Orioles?
To recap, the two teams have played one another seven times. That's basically a quarter of the season at this point.
- The first was Drew Pomeranz' debut in an 8-1 win for the Sox.
- The second was the Steven Wright mess when the Orioles scored 12.
- The third was that series opener in Baltimore when Manny Machado slid into Dustin Pedroia.
- The fourth was another Wright dud, when perhaps having a knuckleballer on the mound kept the Sox from taking a timely shot at Machado in the batter's box.
