3rd & 7 37yd

Not much to see here. Chris Sale has struck out 12 batters in five innings. Currently working on a string of four in a row. #orioles #redsox

Sale has given up just one hit -- a single to Renato Nunuz. He has struck out eight of the last nine. #orioles #redsox

So far, Alex Cobb has been solid, allowing just two runs on four hits over the first five innings, but the sixth inning has been the undoing of a lot of O's pitchers this year and he's in a bind. #orioles

Chris Sale was on pace for the single-season strikeout record, but he's out of the game. Pitched five innings, gave up one hit, struck out 12. Threw 68 pitches. Red Sox making sure he's still fresh at the end, apparently. #redsox

It was Sale's first start since going on the disabled list with left shoulder inflammation, so it makes sense to take it easy with him. #redsox

Correction: Chris Sale was on pace for the single-GAME strikeout record, but he's out of the game. Pitched five innings, gave up one hit, struck out 12. Threw 68 pitches. Red Sox making sure he's still fresh at the end, apparently. #redsox

There has been only one moment of suspense so far in this game, and that was when the Orioles loaded the bases with two outs in the sixth. Trey Mancini put on a stubborn at-bat but eventually struck out, keeping the score 2-0 Red Sox. #orioles

Chris Davis strikes out for the third time and lets go of his bat for the second game in a row. This time it landed safely to the right of the pitchers mound. Saturday night, he flung it almost to the tarp down the first base line. #orioles

The Orioles finally hit the scoreboard with a Trey Mancini sacrifice fly in the eighth inning. Run set up by Cedric Mullins leadoff infield single, Jonathan Villar one-out single and Adam Jones walk. Red Sox still lead, 2-1. #orioles

Inning ends right there, on a strikeout by Tim Beckham. #orioles
