Ryan O'Hearn, Dylan Carlson homer as Orioles beat Red Sox 5-1 to salvage
series split

BOSTON (AP) --- Ryan O'Hearn and Dylan Carlson each hit a solo homer and the
Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox 5-1 on Sunday to salvage a split of
the four-game series that was interrupted by two rainouts.
The victory gave Baltimore its first consecutive wins since April 30 and May 2
after it earned a split of the day-night doubleheader Saturday by winning the
second game.
Jarren Duran had four singles for the Red Sox and highly touted prospect
Marcelo Mayer earned his first major league hit --- a single --- and added a
double.
It was the second straight game that Boston's offense has struggled after it
learned Alex Bregman, one of its better offensive players, was lost for a while
with a strained right quadriceps.
The Orioles won for just the third time in 13 games.
Baltimore catcher Adley Rutschman left the game after taking a hard foul off
the mask.
Orioles starter Dean Kremer (4-5) allowed seven singles in 5 1/3 innings.
Starting after getting ejected early in his previous start, Walker Buehler
(4-2) gave up two runs in five innings.
Carlson hit his first homer with the Orioles into the right-field seats to make
it 2-0.
Key moment
O'Hearn had somewhat of a Little League homer when he doubled to the gap in
right-center in the eighth. He stopped at second, but the throw from Ceddanne
Rafaela hit him and caromed away, allowing him to break for third. Mayer
retrieved the ball and threw it away, allowing O'Hearn to score.
Key stat
The Red Sox finished a 10-game homestand just 5-5.
Up next
Orioles: RHP Charlie Morton (0-7, 7.68 ERA) is scheduled to start for Baltimore
on Monday in the opener of a three-game series against St. Louis. RHP Erick
Fedde (3-3, 3.77) is scheduled for the Cardinals.
Red Sox: Open a three-game series in Milwaukee on Monday when LHP Garrett
Crochet (4-3, 1.98) is set to face Brewers RHP Chad Patrick (2-4, 3.23).
