Orioles take down Red Sox in home opener on O'Neill's 4-hit day

BALTIMORE -- Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora wasn't surprised when Tyler O'Neill hit yet another opening day home run last week.

"Obviously we cannot bet on baseball, but that was the easiest bet," Cora said before Monday's game at Baltimore. "Opening day in Canada."

Turns out O'Neill is more than just a Game 1 wonder.

O'Neill had four hits in his home debut, helping the Baltimore Orioles to an 8-5 victory over Cora and the Red Sox. The outfielder has already turned heads with his record streak of homering on opening day, which the British Columbia native extended to six years Thursday when he went deep for Baltimore at Toronto.
