Red Sox Seek to Clip Orioles' Wings at Oriole Park

As the Red Sox prepare to face the Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on May 28, 2024, fans are eager to see how Boston will perform against Baltimore. The game is scheduled for 6:35 PM ET and will be broadcast on NESN.

The Red Sox have had a mixed bag of results in their recent games. In their latest outing, they managed a narrow victory over the Brewers with a score of 2-1. This win was largely attributed to strong pitching performances and timely hitting. The bullpen was particularly effective, allowing no runs and maintaining an impressive WHIP of 0.3333.


However, prior games have exposed some vulnerabilities in Boston's lineup and pitching staff. In one match against Milwaukee, the Red Sox struggled offensively with only five hits leading to a loss by three runs (6-3). Their batting average dipped significantly during this game, highlighting inconsistency in their offensive output.

Defensively, Boston has been relatively solid with minimal errors across recent games. Their fielding percentage remains high at .974 despite occasional lapses that have cost them crucial runs.


Pitching remains a focal point for improvement as well. While there were standout performances like Justin Slaten’s win where he allowed just one run over nine innings, other starters have faced challenges maintaining consistency. For instance, Nick Pivetta's recent start saw him give up multiple runs early on which set back the team’s chances significantly.

Oriole Park presents its own set of challenges for visiting teams due to its hitter-friendly dimensions which could either amplify or expose Boston's current form depending on how well they adapt.


Fans can expect an intense matchup as both teams vie for dominance in this critical encounter under the lights at Camden Yards—tune into NESN for live coverage starting from 6:35 PM ET!
