Red Sox Power Over O's

It's a good night when you can win in Camden Yards.  That's exactly what the Red Sox did on Friday, beating the slumping O's 7-5.  2 more errors by the left side of Baltimore's infield gave the Sox extra outs to work with.  And Brock Holt took advantage of a Machado error in the 8th to launch a 3-run homer to put the Sox ahead for good.  Ortiz & Ramirez went back-to-back earlier in the game.  Panda went 2-3 & Mookie was on base 4 times.  A good showing by the offense.  Porcello went 6+ & he was effective enough for the win, although Ogando got the actual win by getting a big strikeout in the 7th with the game tied.  It's not perfect by any means yet (a la Hanley in LF), but scraping out team wins like this are important in the early goings.
