Baltimore Orioles 3 – 6 Boston Red Sox

MLB · July 22, 2026 · Final
🎧 Post-Game Report (audio)

Post-Game Recap

The Boston Red Sox took down the Baltimore Orioles six to three this afternoon, and it was never really in doubt after the first inning.

Boston came out swinging right from the jump. Durbin singled to center to plate both Rafaela and Yoshida, then Duran put the exclamation point on it with a two-run triple to right, and just like that the Red Sox were up four to nothing before Baltimore could blink. The Orioles clawed back a run in the third on a Tyler O'Neill double that scored Alonso, but Boston answered immediately — Duran again, this time with a sacrifice fly — and the lead was back to four.

Baltimore made it interesting in the fourth. Encarnacion-Strand went deep, a four hundred twenty-four foot shot to center, and then Rafaela answered right back with a home run of his own to left center, three hundred seventy-seven feet, essentially slamming the door. That back-to-back exchange in the fourth was the turning point — Baltimore cut it to three, Boston went right back up by four.

Encarnacion-Strand added a run-scoring single in the sixth to make it a three-run final, but that was as close as the Orioles would get. Rafaela went two for four with two runs scored and a home run for Boston. Encarnacion-Strand had two RBIs in a losing effort for Baltimore.

Red Sox take it, six to three. That's your post-game report. Sports Desk, signing off.
