Boston`s bats remain torrid
(WorldNews Sport)

Baltimore Xander Bogaerts and Andrew Benintendi each hit three-run homers, Brock Holt connected in a six-run sixth inning and the Boston Red Sox overpowered the Baltimore Orioles 19-12 on Friday night. After hitting for the cycle one night earlier, Mookie Betts went 3-for-4 with two walks and three RBIs. The 19 runs were the most for Boston since a 22-run outburst against Seattle in August 2015. The Red Sox have won 11 of 13 to open a nine-game lead over the second-place Yankees in the AL East. Boston starter Nathan Eovaldi gave up eight runs, four earned, and 10 hits in 22/3 innings. ......
