Even though the season is coming to an end, oddly the Red Sox and Orioles and still not ouf of contention.

They needed 13 innings to do it, but the Orioles showed their resiliency in a 6-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox in front of an announced 21,260 on a cool night at Camden Yards in a game that ended 33 minutes before midnight.

The Boston Red Sox 2015 campaign is nothing short of a disappointment.

Boston used nine pitchers, limiting the Orioles to one hit from the sixth inning through the 12th.

Baltimore scored an unearned run in the ninth inning on an RBI grounder by Steve Pearce. The Red Sox have scored seven runs in their last three games and four or more runs in seven of their last 10 games.

Don’t think anybody really expected the Orioles to win all the rest of their games, but their lopsided defeat Wednesday night had to sting.

Since that first win after his recall Kelly has since won every start since while allowing 2 runs or less.

Orioles fifth. G.Parra struck out.

Baltimore has won five of six and still hasn’t abandoned hope of making a return trip to the playoffs. Baltimore trails four teams in the hunt for the second AL wild-card spot.

“I had a couple of outings where I had to learn some lessons and I’m just trying to roll into each outing and learn as much as I possibly can from the time I’m out there”, he said. The insects became such a problem for the players, umpires and fans that the game had to be stopped. Kelly is 1-2 with a 4.76 ERA and 16 strikeouts in his career against the Orioles. Aro (0-1), who came on in the 11th, took his first major league loss. Wright returned to make a relief appearance July 31 before landing on the DL with a strained calf, and he’s struggled since being activated.

Baltimore was 62-57 before losing 12 of 13.

Xander Bogaerts and Mookie Betts have continued to hit at the pace they have demonstrated all season, and Blake Swihart and Rusney Castillo are swinging the bat similarly well. Rodriguez got ahead of Chris Davis with swings on a fastball up and in and a changeup down and in; you can’t let Davis get extended. Owens was promoted from Triple-A Pawtucket on August 4 to make his debut against the Yankees.

“I felt good. Felt good all my starts“, Wright said.

4 runs, 5 hits, 1 error, 1 left on.

Hat trick for Pedroia: Dustin Pedroia had a double and two singles, his first three-hit game since June 21.

“The game was tied for the Orioles”™ longest this season in terms of innings.

“Not one we need to dwell on”.

The Baltimore Orioles look to sweep the Boston Red Sox Wednesday afternoon.

Rodriguez (9-6) is nearing the end of the line in a solid rookie season in which he’s made 19 starts and pitched 109 2-3 innings.

The designated hitter connected in the first on a 1-2 pitch from Moore, a towering three-run shot into the right field stands. Showalter has already said he’d like Gonzalez to start once or twice more this season if possible. You know it’s kind of frustrating.
