BOSTON (AP) — Dwight Smith Jr. hooked a two-run homer into the first row of seats down the right-field line and drove in four runs, leading the Baltimore Orioles past the Red Sox 8-1 Monday in Boston’s annual Patriots’ Day game.
Baltimore salvaged a split of the four-game series. It had lost nine of its previous 11 games and was 4-21 in its last 25 against Boston.
Chris Davis also hit a two-run homer — much further into the right-field bleachers — and Renato Núñez had three hits with an RBI single.
Davis halted a record 0-for-54 stretch Saturday, the longest for a position player.
