Who could have seen this coming? The day after a 12-run offensive explosion, on a night where the pitching staff stood firm for six innings, the bats went cold and the Red Sox dropped the second game of the series. Nobody could have predicted this, except for those of us who have spent the past month watching these games.
Kutter Crawford was excellent once again. Two home runs to Cedric Mullins marred an otherwise great performance. The Orioles are fourth in baseball in terms of runs per game; holding them to three runs over 6.1 innings is about as good an outing as you can ask for against a dynamic offense like Baltimore.
