Baltimore. Adley Rutschman hit two home runs and drove in six runs Friday night as the Baltimore Orioles routed the Boston Red Sox 10-3 at Camden Yards. Baltimore totaled six homers and 20 hits, with Brandon Young working 5 2/3 innings for the win while Brayan Bello allowed eight earned runs. The victory moved the Orioles back to .500 and, according to reports, to a 13-13 record while marking their first American League East victory this season; Coby Mayo, Gunnar Henderson and Dylan Beavers also homered in an early three-homer first inning. Boston dropped its fourth straight game and faces pitching concerns after Bello's outing on Friday.
