Mandatory Credit: Eric Canha-Imagn Images The Boston Red Sox had counted on pitching to keep them close in some recent games. But it’s going to take the bats to get going for them to make a turnaround.
They carry a four-game losing streak into Saturday afternoon’s road game against the Baltimore Orioles.
The Orioles hammered six home runs, including a pair of two-run blasts from Adley Rutschman, in Friday night’s 10-3 triumph.
“All these guys have that capability in them,” manager Craig Albernaz said. “It was good to see kind of everything come together.”
Coby Mayo has homered in three consecutive games for the Orioles. Rutschman was in his second game back coming off the injury list.
“We’ve got great hitting coaches,” Rutschman said. “Everyone in our clubhouse kind of knows we’re trying to put the gas on as early as possible and just put together good ABs and try to string some runs across early.”
The Red Sox will try to prevent a second five-game skid this season. The three runs for Boston in the series opener marked their most offense in four games, but that’s not likely to be enough. The Red Sox have lost six of their last seven games overall.
“I don’t think we have a bad team,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. “We’re just going through a bad stretch.”
A pair of left-handers will try to get back on track with Saturday’s starting assignments on the mound.
Garrett Crochet (2-3, 7.88 ERA) will start for Boston in an attempt to stop a personal two-game skid. He allowed a total of 16 runs (15 earned) in 6 2/3 innings in losses to Minnesota and Detroit, allowing two home runs in each game. He has struck out at least seven in four of his five outings.
Crochet has faced the Orioles five times, with three of those in starts. He’s 1-1 with a 1.64 ERA with 28 strikeouts in 22 innings.
Trevor Rogers (2-2, 4.08) has lost his last two starts when facing Arizona and Cleveland, surrendering 10 runs (nine earned) in 9 2/3 innings. All three of the homers he has surrendered this year have come in those two games.
Rogers is 1-2 with a 2.13 ERA in five career starts vs. the Red Sox.
Friday’s result marked Baltimore’s first game against an American League East rival this year. Albernaz said he likes the competitive nature of the division with every team built to win.
But regarding the impacts of those meetings, those will take care of themselves.
“For us, we prepare just like it’s another game,” Albernaz said.
Baltimore has outfielder Tyler O’Neill available after he was brought back from the concussion injury list, though he didn’t play Friday night.
“He’s a guy who has a track record of hitting,” Albernaz said. “Just lengthens the lineup when he’s in there. Good to see him healthy and back. He’ll bring some thump.”
Rutschman said the Orioles could be gearing up for a good stretch given that the roster is coming back together.
“It’s an unbelievable group to be a part of,” Rutschman said. “Just the positive energy everyone brings.”
Saturday’s game time has been moved up four hours to 12:05 p.m. because of the threat of inclement weather later in the day.

Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes expressed hope that he and his teammates can help crown Cristiano Ronaldo’s international career by winning the 2026 World Cup.
The 41-year-old Ronaldo is set to appear in a record sixth World Cup in June, a tournament expected to be the final major chapter of the forward’s career.
“Wrapping up all this last World Cup with Cristiano (Ronaldo) winning it would be something amazing,” Fernandes told Wayne Rooney in a BBC report published on Friday.
“I really hope we can make it happen, not just for Portugal, but for everything Cristiano gave to football and the world,” the Portuguese midfielder and Manchester United captain said.

Ronaldo, considered one of the greatest players ever to have not won a World Cup, is the record scorer in international football with 143 goals.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was part of Portugal’s Euro 2016-winning team and has lifted the Nations League twice.
Portugal’s opening Group K game is on June 17 against the Democratic Republic of Congo, followed by Uzbekistan on June 23, with both games in Houston. It plays Colombia on June 27 in Miami in its final group game.
The World Cup runs from June 11 to July 19 in Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Apr 19, 2026; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images The Toronto Blue Jays will be going to a closer-by-committee if the situation arises Saturday afternoon against the visiting Cleveland Guardians.
Jeff Hoffman has struggled as the closer this season and he was told Friday by manager John Schneider that the team will mix-and-match for now instead of putting the onus on one particular pitcher in the ninth inning.
“It’s still finding spots for guys, so whoever that may be in the ninth inning, for now, it’ll be that guy,” Schneider said.
The Blue Jays did not need a closer in their 8-6 loss to Cleveland on Friday in the opener of the three-game series. Toronto fell behind 5-0 and never had a lead.
Hoffman understood the move, saying there are other relievers pitching better than him currently. The right-hander is 3-for-6 on save chances to go with a 1-2 record and a 7.59 ERA.
“That gives them the nod to go out there and do it for the group,” he said. “I’m good for whatever is going to put us in the best position to win as many games as possible.”
Schneider said, “I don’t want to lose sight of the fact that he’s striking out half the hitters he’s facing. There’s a component to it where you want to just stop some momentum, and we’re still going to use him in big spots.”
The Blue Jays will look to bounce back when they send out right-hander Kevin Gausman (1-1, 2.54 ERA) on Saturday. Gausman is 5-5 with a 2.30 ERA in 11 games (10 starts) against Cleveland. Last season, he was 1-0 with 0.00 ERA in two starts vs. the Guardians, allowing three hits, two walks and one hit batter while striking out 15 in 14 innings.
Left-hander Joey Cantillo (1-0, 3.20 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Guardians. He has pitched one-third of an inning in his career against Toronto, retiring the only batter he faced last season.
The Guardians expect to have struggling Steven Kwan back in the lineup on Saturday after he didn’t start on Friday. Kwan, who is batting .227 (22-for-97) with one homer and eight RBIs, did enter the game as a ninth-inning defensive replacement in the series opener.
“We were looking to get him two days off and one of them on the (Rogers Centre) turf,” Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said. “We just wanted to give him a chance to reset the legs. Playing center field is a new beast. We just wanted to give him two days to get his body back underneath him.”
Kwan, a four-time Gold Glove left fielder, has been playing mostly in center this season.
“I don’t think moving between left and center field has affected his offense,” Vogt said, “but it’s a new workload that he’s never had in the big leagues. I wouldn’t read any more into this day off other than we wanted to get him two days off by using the off day (Thursday).”
It worked out well. Daniel Schneemann replaced Kwan in the leadoff spot on Friday and Angel Martinez started in center field.
Schneemann, batting leadoff for the first time this season, led off the game with a home run against Max Scherzer. He also walked and doubled.
Martinez hit two-run homers in the first and third innings.
Toronto lost Nathan Lukes in the first inning Friday when he left the game with what the team announced was left hamstring discomfort. Schneider said the outfielder was to going have an MRI.
