Hot Orioles blank Red Sox
BALTIMORE — Dylan Bundy took a five-hitter into the eighth inning, Manny Machado homered, and the surging Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox 2-0 on Friday night.
It was the seventh win in nine games for the Orioles, whose major league-best 11-4 record includes a 9-3 mark in the AL East.
Bundy struck out three, walked one and allowed six hits in seven-plus innings. The 2011 first-round draft pick lowered his ERA to 1.37 and extended his run of consecutive scoreless innings to 13.
Brad Brach worked a perfect ninth for his third save — all in the past three nights. Brach is subbing for All-Star closer Zach Britton, who’s on the disabled list.
