BOSTON (AP) — Trevor Rogers took a shutout into the seventh inning, and Gunnar Henderson had a solo homer and an RBI triple on Monday night time to steer the Baltimore Orioles to a 6-3 victory over the Boston Purple Sox.
Prime Orioles prospect Samuel Basallo, who was the No. 8 prospect in all of baseball earlier than he was referred to as up for his major-league debut on Sunday, doubled off the Inexperienced Monster for his first extra-base hit and added a two-run single within the ninth. Ryan Mountcastle had three singles.
Boston starter Dustin Might (7-9) allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks, putting out 5 in six innings to lose for the second time in three begins since he was acquired by Boston from the Dodgers on the commerce deadline.
The Purple Sox lower it to 6-3 within the ninth on Jarren Duran’s two-out, two-run double. However Yennier Cano acquired Ceddanne Rafaela to hit a broken-bat grounder to 3rd for the ultimate out.
Rogers’ (6-2) solely actual hassle was within the seventh, when the Orioles have been already up 4-0. He walked Alex Bregman to steer off the inning, then Trevor Story doubled with one out to place runners on second and third.
Duran hit a line drive that had middle fielder Colton Cowser crashing into the Inexperienced Monster; he made the catch, limiting Boston to a sacrifice fly that scored one run. Rogers struck out Rafaela to finish the inning.
Rogers allowed one run and 4 hits with a stroll, putting out seven to decrease his ERA to 1.41. That’s decrease than Paul Skenes’ 2.16 ERA – the most effective within the majors – however Rogers hasn’t pitched sufficient innings to qualify for the league leaders.
Orioles RHP Tomoyuki Sugano (10-5) will face Boston RHP Walker Buehler (7-7) within the finale of the two-game sequence.
