Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Red Sox
Boston designated hitter J.D. Martinez had a 3-RBI performance, which helped his team down the Baltimore Orioles, 6-3. Boston reliever Tayron Guerrero picked up the win, raising his record to 3-2. Bryan Baker was tagged with the loss. Josh Hader was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 46 of 54 save opportunities.

The result might have been different, had it not been for 30-year old catcher Connor Wong. Wong had a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Red Sox ahead, 4-3. For the game, Wong had 1 double and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"I always try to stay as positive and as mentally strong as possible because I know how crazy this game can be," said Martinez.

After today's action, Boston sits at 89-73; Baltimore slips to 84-78.
