The Orioles had a long time without picking up a victory from the Red Sox. Finally they did it last week at Baltimore. Erik Bedard pitched seven effective innings for the Orioles, who had lost 13 straight to Boston — including eight this season — since Sept. 2, 2005. The victory also enabled Baltimore to end an eight-game home skid against the Red Sox.
Bedard (5-2) gave up one run, a pair of doubles and three walks. The left-hander who came in with a 7.57 ERA in six career starts against the Red Sox struck out three. It was his first victory in five starts since April 20.
“It’s a win that we needed to have, but it’s also special because I competed with these guys the last three years,” said Millar, whose two-run homer gave Baltimore a lead it never lost Wednesday night in a 4-3 victory. “It was a lot of fun.”
This victory will give a confidence boost to the Orioles players. They really need this win because of what it represent, the ending of the losing streak against Boston and also the opportunity to try and reach Toronto for the third place of their division.
