ORIOLES WIN AGAIN, SHUTTING OUT RED SOX
baltimore» Dylan Bundy took a fivehitter into the eighth inning, Manny Machado homered and the surging Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox 2-0 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.
Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia had to be helped from the field in the bottom of the eighth inning after hurting his knee. The injury occurred when Machado slid into second on a force play and appeared to unintentionally spike Pedroia in the back of the left leg. Pablo Sandoval replaced Pedroia at second.
Bundy (3-1) 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.
Baltimore took the lead in the third when Craig Gentry doubled and scored on a single by Adam Jones.
Machado made it 2-0 in the fifth with his third home run.
