J.J. Hardy hit a pair of two-run homers, and Baltimore won again, defeating the Boston Red Sox, 9-5, on Tuesday, to improve to 7-0.
Mark Trumbo also hit a two-run homer, in the sixth off Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz (0-1).
Hardy’s second blast keyed a four-run seventh that broke the game open for the O’s.
Mike Wright (1-0) got the win for Baltimore on a shaky night on the mound, giving up four runs on five hits in five innings of work, striking out four and walking one.
Trumbo was 3-for-4 at the plate to raise his season batting average to .464.
