Mickey Gasper Homers Again to Lead Red Sox Past Orioles
Gasper’s eighth homer came in his last 16 games, and Ranger Suarez allowed five singles over seven scoreless innings.
- On Friday night at Camden Yards, the Boston Red Sox defeated the Baltimore Orioles 1-0, securing their 15th shutout of the season on a first-inning home run from Mickey Gasper.
- Red Sox pitcher Ranger Suarez delivered seven shutout innings, allowing only five hits while striking out three batters. The left-hander, signed to a five-year, $130 million contract, made his longest outing since April.
- The 30-year-old Gasper, the 'Merrimack Masher,' blasted his eighth home run in 16 games since his August 16 call-up. His OPS has reached 1.525 since August 17, a dramatic surge from just two homers in 240 career at-bats before his recall.
- In the eighth inning, benches cleared after Orioles outfielder Blaze Alexander got heated over a double play involving Red Sox second baseman Nick Sogard. Interim manager Chad Tracy said, "There was some chirping towards our guys," but the incident did not escalate.
- Aroldis Chapman recorded his 32nd save of the season and 399th of his career to seal the victory. Boston has now won two consecutive games in the four-game series, positioning them to clinch with one more win over the weekend.
