Boston 5, Baltimore 0

 

Now that's more like it! Giolito went eight innings, striking out eight and only giving up four hits and one walk. Story and Hamilton homered in the second and third innings, respectively. Narváez got an RBI in the eighth and Hamilton scored some more runs with a two-run double in the ninth. 

Meanwhile, Toronto let the game get away from them last night, giving up four runs to the lowly Twins  in the ninth and losing the game. So the Sox are now four back in the AL East, still a half-game ahead of the third-place Yankees.

Tonight, the mighty Brayan Bello (10-6, 3.07) pitches for Boston. The Orioles will start Dietrich Enns (1-2, 4.97), a pitcher they picked up from Detroit at the August 1 trade deadline. Enns pitched one inning of relief in Fenway back on August 18 but other than that, the Sox haven't had much of a chance to get a good look at him yet.
