Bogaerts extends hitting streak to 26 games

Xander Bogaerts extended his hitting streak to 25 games with a sixth-inning single for Boston in the Red Sox’s 13-9 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday night.

Jones hit his second later in the three-homer inning to make it 12-5.

Last night, the O’s out-homered the Red Sox, 7-1.

Ubaldo Jimenez and Rick Porcello were stuck in an old-fashioned pitchers duel prior to the 4th inning when Mark Trumbo would strike first.

This game was started by Kevin Gausman who put out his most disappointing start of the season. He did not walk a batter and had a season-high 11 strikeouts.

Kyle Hendricks went eight innings for the Cubs before he was pulled for a pinch hitter.

The 26-game streak is second-longest in the majors this season behind the 29-game run of teammate Jackie Bradley, Jr. The 23-year-old Betts now has 14 home runs on the year.

Trumbo has been a revelation for his new team, with 17 home runs already this season. Joe Panik and Buster Posey followed with two-run shots to chase Braves rookie starter Aaron Blair. The Orioles went up 5-4 in the bottom half, and each team scored three runs in the third. He didn’t walk a batter, but he did hit one, while improving to 3-6.

Mike Napoli’s sacrifice fly scored Francisco Lindor with the winning run to cap a two-run ninth inning and the Indians beat Kansas City.

Pedroia’s error came in the sixth inning with the score tied at 8.

The Orioles will now welcome the Yankees back to Camden Yards for the second time this season for a three game series over the weekend. “I just got bit in that inning”. Carrasco, who is 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA in four starts, was injured covering first base against Detroit on April 24. All but McCutchen were hit by pitches. Aroldis Chapman collected his eighth save despite allowing a run. Chapman then retired Miguel Cabrera on a groundout. Orioles center fielder Adam Jones (2-for-6, two runs) led off the first with a single before right fielder Hyun-Soo Kim (3-for-5, two runs) singled to right. Meanwhile, Dustin Pedroia added three hits to extend his hitting streak to nine straight games.

Evan Longoria had a pair of hits, including a two-run homer, as Tampa Bay lost its fifth consecutive game.

What a game. It was frustrating and stressful when the O’s were in the field and exciting when they were at the plate.

Instead, a different father-son dynamic played out in the moments following his first home run, which came in a 12-7 Orioles win over the Boston Red Sox – Pena’s own son was there at his locker, enjoying the occasion with him. However, the seven run deficit to start the inning was too big of a task for these hitters to overcome.

The Reds hit four homers. So the series ended up being split two games each. He also tied his career-highs in hits (3) and RBIs (4). In the first five innings, everything was down.

Again, Jimenez pitched very well against a very potent lineup through five innings. The following inning, Manny Machado would hit a three-run bomb to left to give Baltimore an 8-5 lead in the 7th inning.
