BOSTON — Kyle Schwarber scored twice in his debut for the Boston Red Sox, and his new teammates delivered three home runs in an 8-1 victory against the slumping Baltimore Orioles on Friday night.
Xander Bogaerts, Bobby Dalbec and Hunter Renfroe each homered for the Red Sox, who are trying to snap out of a funk that knocked them five games back in the AL East.
Nick Pivetta (9-5) struck out eight in six innings, and the Red Sox offense rebounded after the team lost two of three against the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays. Garrett Richards pitched the final three innings and was credited with his first save since 2013.
