Rick Porcello throws 6 shutout innings as Red Sox top Orioles 5-3

BALTIMORE (AP) — The Boston Red Sox are dominating most major league teams this season, so it comes as no surprise that they’ve had their way against the worst of the bunch.

Rick Porcello scattered six hits over six scoreless innings, Mitch Moreland homered and Boston breezed past the Baltimore Orioles 5-3 Monday night.

Andrew Benintendi drove in two runs for the AL East leaders, who have won 15 of 17 to move 40 games over .500 (71-31) for the first time since 1949.

“The team is playing amazing. It’s pitching, hitting, running bases,” said center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr.
