Victory Pushes Red Sox Record to 26-25
The Boston Red Sox trumped the Baltimore Orioles, 14-9, at Camden Yards. Boston second baseman Vern Stephens was named player of the game for his performance. He went 2-3 with 2 singles and 2 walks. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. Boston reliever Tyler Anderson was credited with the win, to go to 1-1. Raul Sanchez took the loss for Baltimore. Pedro J Martinez earned the save for Boston, his 5th.

Boston used the timely hitting of Jorge Polanco to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Red Sox on top, 9-8. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"This game had a little bit of everything," said Stephens.

The second-place Red Sox improved to 26-25.
