Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 21m J.D. Martinez with seven doubles in as many games. Jumping on a first-pitch fastball there and slamming it to deep center at 112.7 mph.
It's 5-3 #RedSox in the 7th.
Marwin Gonzalez atones for his adventures on the bases with an RBI single. It's 6-3 #RedSox in the 7th.
Boston slowly turning the screws on the Orioles here.

Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 50s Garrett Whitlock is shoving -- six up, six down, three strikeouts in relief.
Chaim Bloom has to be enjoying this. Rule 5 pick looks right at home. #RedSox

Pete Abraham @peteabe
Shows what the Sox think of Whitlock, sending him in to protect a one-run lead on the road.
He's not a Rule 5 guy who will get in here and there. He's one of their guys.
Let's see how Whitlock does once the scouting reports catch up to him.
But he's confident with his stuff, and the sinker plays.

Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 1m #RedSox pitching had retired 19 of the last 20 men they faced entering the 8th.
Matt Andriese could really use a double play here.

Class Act Roch Kubatko @masnroch Trey Mancini knows he's going to get a lot of attention today in home opener, but he hopes fans also acknowledge Eduardo Rodriguez's return to the mound. Missed the 2020 season after testing positive for COVID-19 and subsequently dealt with myocarditis, inflammation of the heart. Yes, very classy sentiment.

Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 1m Standing ovation for Trey Mancini, who tips his helmet to the fans at Camden Yards. #RedSox players and the dugout are among those applauding.
How the heck do you find composure to hit after that? Quite a moment. It's like Pedro's first appearance at Fenway after he joined the Mets. The crowd never stopped, and he couldn't pitch.

Huge game. Everyone that was supposed to do something, did something. The two HRs hurt, but that's small potatoes compared to the 7/0 K/W. Barnes has looked really good, but he's always had that on/off kind of thing going. Huge game on Saturday as well. We need some production from Richards. If he can pitch to his potential, then we will have a lot of winnable games.
