BALTIMORE (AP) - David Ortiz homered in the sixth inning to start Boston's
comeback from a three-run deficit, and the Red Sox got three hits from Will
Middlebrooks in an 8-6 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night.
Dustin Pedroia had two RBIs and Mike Aviles scored the go-ahead run in the
seventh to help Boston secure its ninth win in 11 games. The Red Sox are tied
with the New York Yankees in the AL East cellar but are at .500 (21-21) for the
first time since April 30.
Chris Davis homered for the first-place Orioles, who swept a three-game
series in Fenway Park earlier this month. It was the first meeting between the
teams in Baltimore since the Orioles ruined Boston's chances of reaching the
playoffs with a walkoff win on the final day of the 2011 regular season.
