6/6/10: Orioles 4, Red Sox 3

It seems like the annual mid-summer pillage of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor is the birthright of every player who puts on a Red Sox uniform (and every Red Sox fan, for that matter).  While the Sox did not leave Charm City with a sweep, they did outscore the flailing Orioles 23-6 over the three-game series.

John Lackey’s 7 inning performance was slightly encouraging; it was his best start since May 5th (the one caveat being that it came against the worst team in the American League).

Notes & Takeaways:

• Manny Delcarmen is hurting a bit, and as  result he’s had two outings in a row where he opened the flood gates.
• Maybe something to keep an eye on: David Ortiz’ left hand after being hit with a pitch by the gargantuan Mark Hendrickson last night.
• Dear Pau Gasol: it’s time to shave your neck.  You are beginning to look like that flying desert creature who sold Anakin Skywalker’s mom into slavery.  (Okay, for those of you who aren’t huge dorks, here’s what I’m talking about.)
