Series Preview: Baltimore Orioles return to Camden Yards, to face BoSox

The Baltimore Orioles took two of three at Kansas City to close out a 3-4 road trip on a high note, the highlight being the 7-5 win on Monday in a 12-inning game that saw the O’s record just one base hit in the first eight innings.

The Game 3 win on Wednesday was due to a six-run sixth, the big blow being a three-run, 452-foot homer off the bat of Coby Mayo.

The O’s (12-13) return home to Camden Yards to start a three-game series with the Boston Red Sox (9-15).
