O's Rough Up Beckett, Beat Red Sox 5-4

Posted May 13, 08 10:25 PM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Luke Scott homered and had three of Baltimore's 11 hits off Josh Beckett, and the Orioles received a fine pitching performance from Jeremy Guthrie in a 5-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night. Scott was mired in a 7-for-55 skid before going 3-for-3 against Beckett, who came in 4-0 with a 2.05 ERA in four career starts at Camden Yards.

Scott's three-run homer in the third inning put Baltimore ahead 5-3, and the advantage stood up. Guthrie (2-3) allowed three runs, two earned, and eight hits in six-plus innings. The right-hander had a season-high seven strikeouts and walked one. After Guthrie yielded successive singles to start the seventh, Jamie Walker walked David Ortiz to load the bases.

    Sox, Dodgers, Phillies Win Openers Jason Bay and Manny Ramirez both proved why they’d been acquired last night. Bay hit a two-run shot to give the Red Sox a lead they never relinquished, sending Anaheim to a 4-1 defeat, while the man he was traded for hit a solo shot in the Dodgers' 7-2 win over the Cubs. But the Dodgers’ real hero was James Loney, who hit a grand slam in the fifth to erase a 2-run Cubs lead. More »
