My Comment: On an amazing comeback victory, the Boston Red Sox now have a winning record for the first time this season. No thanks to the wind in Fenway Park (which was the hitter's menace for both sides), Boston snatched another incredible win from unbelieving Baltimore. The Red Sox did manage to have fifteen hits (that number matches the quantity of men waiting on base to come home). How many hits would they have had if the wind was more cooperative? Let's hope Boston has a broom for Baltimore tomorrow.

BALTIMORE: Starting Pitcher: Chris Tillman; Losing Pitcher: Kevin Gregg
