A great start to the 4-game series! David Newhan finally had his breakout game of the season and drove in 5 runs to help the O’s beat up on the Red Sox, 8-1. Rodrigo Lopez had another spectacular outing, allowing only 1 run in his 8 innings of work. Lopez started to get into trouble in the 8th, but was able to get out of a bases-loaded jam after giving up the only run of the game for Boston. Newhan belted a grand slam in the 3rd inning, just as it appeared as though the O’s were again going to fail to capitalize on a great scoring opportunity. A great start to the series for the O’s, I hope they’re able to build some momentum with this win, especially since they are facing a division rival and the O’s will have to take on the Tigers (who just beat up on them in Baltimore) after this series.
Since pictures were to be held at 11:00 am at Salisbury University’s rose garden, I was a little worried that I’d be late and cause everything to be pushed back (which is completely unacceptable when it’s your sister’s wedding day).
